S. S. aInsect pollinators, major threats and mitigation measures.h[electronic resource] c2020 aAnimal pollination is a regulating ecosystem service as it is the basis for plant reproduction, fruits and seeds production, thus essential for human wellbeing and ecosystem health. Around 87% of plant species in the world depend on animals (insects, birds, mammals) to some degree for pollination. In the tropical regions this percentage may reach 94%. Moreover, 75% of the world’s agricultural crops depends, at least partially, on animal pollination and the annual value of global crops directly affected by pollinators ranges from US$235 to US$577 billion. In Brazil, pollinators contribution to agriculture is estimated in US$14 billion per year. aInseto Polinizador aPolinização1 aMAUES, M. M. tNeotropical Entomologygv. 49, n. 4, p. 469-471, Aug. 2020.
