Wild insects and honey bees are equally important to crop yields in a global analysis

[Aim] Most of the world's food crops are dependent on pollinators. However, there isa great deal of uncertainty in the strength of this relationship, especially regarding therelative contributions of the honey bee (often a managed species) and wild insects tocrop yields on a global scale. Previ...

description [Aim] Most of the world's food crops are dependent on pollinators. However, there isa great deal of uncertainty in the strength of this relationship, especially regarding therelative contributions of the honey bee (often a managed species) and wild insects tocrop yields on a global scale. Previous data syntheses have likewise reached differingconclusions on whether pollinator species diversity, or only the number of pollinatorvisits to flowers, is important to crop yield. This study quantifies the current state ofthese relationships and links to a dynamic version of our analyses that updates auto-matically as studies become available.

However, there isa great deal of uncertainty in the strength of this relationship, especially regarding therelative contributions of the honey bee (often a managed species) and wild insects tocrop yields on a global scale. Previous data syntheses have likewise reached differingconclusions on whether pollinator species diversity, or only the number of pollinatorvisits to flowers, is important to crop yield. This study quantifies the current state ofthese relationships and links to a dynamic version of our analyses that updates auto-matically as studies become available.[Location] Global.[Time Period] Present.[Taxa studied] Insect pollinators of global crops.[Methods] Using a newly created database of 93 crop pollination studies across six continents that roughly triples the number of studies previously available, we analysed the relationship between insect visit rates, pollinator diversity, and crop yields in a series of mixed-effects models.[Results] We found that honey bees and wild insects contribute roughly equal amounts to crop yields worldwide, having similar average flower visitation rates and producing similar increases in yield per visit. We also found that pollinator species diversity was positively associated with increased crop yields even when total visits from all species are accounted for, though it was less explanatory than the total number of visits itself.[Main conclusions] Our analysis suggests a middle ground where honey bees are not responsible for the vast majority of crop pollination as has often been assumed in the agricultural literature, and likewise wild insects are not vastly more important than honey bees, as recent global analyses have reported. We also conclude that while pollinator diversity is less important than the number of pollinator visits, these typically involve many species, underscoring the importance of conserving a diversity of wild pollinators.This research was funded through the 2017-2018 Belmont Forum and BiodivERsA joint call for research proposals, under the BiodivScen ERA-Net COFUND Programme, and with the funding organizations AEI, NWO, MINCyT and NSF.
