Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pollination services provided by pollinators are essential for maintaining plant populations, ecosystem stability and food security. In a rapidly changing world, pollinators are declining globally and regionally, mainly caused by habitat loss and fragmentation, agrochemicals, environmental pollution, pathogens, alien species, climate change and their interactions. The destruction on plant–pollinator mutualisms aggravates biodiversity loss; therefore, understanding and safeguarding plant–pollinator interactions is crucial for ensuring ecological security and human well-being.
This Special Issue provides an opportunity to highlight new research that brings new data and methods about the biodiversity changes in pollinators, plant–pollinator interactions and pollination services, pollinator conservation, pollination systems and evolutionary consequences. We invite manuscripts focusing on taxonomic, ecological, evolutionary and conservation aspects, aiming to advance our knowledge of and the conservation of plant–pollinator interactions, providing theoretical insights for policy makers, practitioners, and the public to formulate effective management strategies and conservation practices.
