Abstract Habitat fragmentation is widespread globally, but the effects of fragmentation on populations and communities are often unclear. Because species responses to fragmentation are interdependent, examining how fragmentation alters species interactions may clarify community responses to fragmentation. In a large, replicated fragmentation experiment,

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Pollinator communities as indicators of ecological change in developing woodlands
A shift in the pollinator community occurs as planted woodlands develop. Bees respond to local habitat change, while hoverflies respond to the broader landscape. The choice of metrics and sampling methods can shape ecological interpretations. Pollinators, especially bees, are sensitive, policy‐relevant indicators for tracking early biodiversity change ...
