Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are soliciting manuscript submissions that address non-Apis pollinator responses to a changing world. Specifically, we will publish manuscripts that address insect responses to climate change, landscape change (e.g., habitat loss, urbanization, etc.), agricultural intensification, natural disasters, and management practices in forestry and agriculture. Responses to global change include changes in species distribution, diversity and conservation, synchrony with floral resource availability and natural enemy abundance, and sustainability of managed pollinator populations or wild pollinators for pollination of crops, etc.
