A global review demonstrating the importance of nocturnal pollinators for crop plants
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 12, Page 2890-2901, December 2022., 2022 Our findings suggest that nocturnal pollinators visit a large range of crop plants, and may be more important to ecosystem function and food production than currently thought. Current policies in cropping systems implemented to protect bees, such as regulations on pesticide use, are unlikely to also protect nocturnal pollinators. As we develop a better
