- Title
Pollinators at Risk.
- Authors
WATANABE, MYRNA E.
- Abstract
The article explores how human activities are threatening key pollinating insect species. Topics include the 2012-2013 crash of the monarch butterfly population, factors contributing to declining pollinator populations, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use in agriculture, the economic losses resulting from pollinator loss, and colony collapse disorder (CCD) in honey bees. Also discussed is a 2013 European Commission (EC) ban on three neonicotinoid pesticides.
