Abstract

Photo 1. Wild bee (Andrena albopunctata) visiting a sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Although sunflowers can be self-pollinated, 10–40% of their production can be lost if flowers are not insect-pollinated. Photograph credit: Sílvia Castro. Photo 2. Bumblebee (Bombus hortorum) on red clover (Trifolium pratense). Red clover is 100% dependent on insect pollination and will not set seeds without being pollinated. Photograph credit: Yoko L. Dupont. These photographs illustrate the article “CropPol: a dynamic, open and global database on crop pollination” by Allen-Perkins et al. published in Ecology. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.3614.
