Animal pollination is a key process in the reproduction of many nutritious food crops (Aizen et al., 2008; Bailes et al., 2015). Pollinator populations are under pressure from human activities, including intensive use of agrochemicals, climate change and habitat losses, in turn resulting in pressures on the supply of pollination services to global crops (Potts et al., 2016). The relative risks and impacts of such losses are thought to vary strongly between global regions, but there remains considerable uncertainty around the scale and severity of these impacts (Dicks et al., 2021).
