Managing invasive alien species to protect wild pollinators

Väljaande metaandmed

Pollination is an essential step in the successful reproduction process of most flowering plants, including many plants we rely on for food. The species that is most commonly assumed to provide the majority of pollinator services is the honeybee (Apis mellifera), but most pollination is actually undertaken by wild pollinators. In Europe, these wild pollinators are primarily insects - including bees, hoverflies, butterflies, moths, beetles and other flies. Without pollinators, many plants would not be able to reproduce, causing vegetation diversity to decline, depriving many animal species of a primary source of food and unleashing knock-on effects along trophic chains. In addition, we would lose many fruits, nuts and vegetables from our diets, and many other important food stuffs and materials, such as vegetable oils, cotton and flax.
