Since agricultural activities were first recorded, there have been shortages of pollinators. Today it seems that pollination systems in many areas of agriculture are threatened by the inadequacy or lack of

WILD BEE ABUNDANCE AND SEED PRODUCTION IN CONVENTIONAL, ORGANIC, AND GENETICALLY MODIFIED CANOLA (2005, background): “Our findings support recent concerns over the economic consequences of native bee declines (e.g., Westerkamp and Gottsberger 2000, Kevan and Phillips 2001).”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, methodology): “…an endangered ecosystem service (Corbet 1991; Williams 1994; Ingram et al. 1996; Matheson et al. 1996; AllenWardell et al. 1998; Kearns et al. 1998; Kevan & Phillips 2001; Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2005, but see Ghazoul 2005), detailed studies of the crop pollination systems are incomplete or out of…”
Global invasions of the western honeybee (Apis mellifera) and the consequences for biodiversity (2005, background): “We would, however, argue that pollinator declines observed today are primarily driven by factors other than honeybee introductions (Kevan & Phillips, 2001).”
Measuring the economic value of pollination services: principles, evidence and knowledge gaps. (2015, methodology): “…relations between crop prices, production and demand require data intensive econometric analysis (e.g. Southwick and Southwick, 1992), ideally involving complex trade analyses to allow for trade effects, an enhancement that most current CS studies have not incorporated (Kevan and Phillips, 2001).”
Bumble Bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Diversity and Abundance in Tallgrass Prairie Patches: Effects of Local and Landscape Floral Resources (2005, background): “In general, there has been a growing concern over the loss of native, wild insect pollinators (Rathcke and Jules 1993, Buchmann and Nabhan 1996) and the economic repercussions if such a decline would cause (Kevan and Phillips 2001).”
The pollination ecology of durian (Durio zibethinus, Bombacaceae) in southern Thailand (2009, background): “If this is the case, it is a matter of serious concern for future durian yields since decreased crop production resulting from pollination failure has been found in other animal-dependent crops (Kevan & Phillips 2001).”
On managing the red mason bee (Osmia bicornis) in apple orchards (2011, unknown): “Since agricultural activities were first recorded, there have been shortages of pollinators and thus cuts in agricultural productivity (Kevan and Phillips 2001).”
Economic Evaluation of Pollination Services Comparing Coffee Landscapes in Ecuador and Indonesia (2006, unknown): “If increasing numbers of coffee growers reduce their supply when faced with declining revenues, the traded quantity decreases, possibly leading to a price increase on the local market (Kevan and Phillips 2001).”
Pollination services from field-scale agricultural diversification may be context-dependent (2015, background): “Pollinator deficiencies may precipitate significant yield reductions and increased food prices, ultimately jeopardizing food security (Meffe, 1998; Kevan and Phillips, 2001; Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2005; Klein et al., 2007; Gallai et al., 2009).”
Bee diversity and abundance in an urban setting (2004, background): “…key to assessing the extent of the global decline in pollinators (Buchmann and Nabhan 1996; Allen-Wardell et al. 1998; Cane and Tepedino 2001; Frankie et al. 2002), published data on pollinator monitoring is still insufficient (Cane and Tepedino 2001; Kevan and Phillips 2001; Frankie et al. 2002).”
The future of pollinators for Australian agriculture (2002, background): “However, evidence that agricultural pollination is frequently at production limiting levels is unambiguous (Kevan and Phillips 2001).”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “Plant – pollinator relationships in many areas of the world are under rising pressure from anthropogenic sources, such as habitat fragmentation and isolation (Steffan-Dewenter & Tscharntke, 1999 2002 ), pesticide use (O'Toole, 1993 ; Kevan, 2001 ), changes in land use (Kearns et al, 1998 ), fi”
