Pollination in Agroecosystems: A Review of the Conceptual Framework with a View to Sound Monitoring

The pollination ecology in agroecosystems tackles a landscape which plants and pollinators need to adjust, or be adjusted, human intervention. A valid, widely applied approach is regard as link between specific their pollinators. However, recent evidence has added features for wider ecological perspective. Are we going the right direction? existing methods providing pollinator monitoring tools suitable understanding agroecosystems? In Italy, needed address these questions respond government pressure implement agroecosystems. We therefore surveyed literature, grouped findings, evaluated approaches. selected studies that may contain directions directly linked Our analysis revealed four main paths must come together at some point: (i) research question perspective, (ii) advances of analysis, (iii) role vegetation, (iv) gaps our knowledge taxonomy behavior. An important conclusion scale alarmingly disregarded. Debate continues about what include appropriate level detail: suggest should driver.
