We derived ecological conservatism values for prairie pollinators using expert opinion and analysis of remnant fidelity. Expert values were potentially biased and struggled to differentiate between remnant and non‐remnant prairie sites Empirical values showed advantages for pollinator‐based site assessment and prioritization in prairie regions ...

Coloured canopy Malaise traps, branch sampling and caterpillar traps detected most BOLD‐BINs and showed the highest cost‐efficiency in capturing flying insects across land use types, in singular and combined use. Caterpillar traps were particularly effective in forests and detected far more taxa than only Lepidopterans.
