Current Advances in Pollinator Insects

Dear Colleagues,

Pollinator insects, including bees, butterflies, moths, and other important species, play a crucial role in global ecosystems and agriculture by facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants. Despite their importance, many pollinator populations are experiencing unprecedented declines due to habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and disease. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in research into the biology, ecology, and conservation strategies of pollinators.

The scope of this Special Issue will cover a range of topics, including the physiological and behavioral adaptations of pollinators, their interactions with plants and other species, their nutrition, and innovative conservation measures that enhance their habitats. We will also explore the use of pollinator insects as biomonitors of environmental pollution, the impact of technological advances in monitoring pollinator health and distribution, as well as the socio-economic impact of pollinator loss on food security and biodiversity.
