The symposium “Pollination services in a changing world: ecological and evolutionary implications ” brings together research in plant reproductive ecology, pollination ecology and bee biology to understand how anthropogenic environmental change is affecting plants, pollinators, and their interactions. In addition to spanning spatial scales from local community to landscape to region, talk topics include basic research, conservation, and policy. Worldwide, there are urgent concerns about the sustainability of reproduction of both wild and crop plants because of a potential dearth of pollinators. During the past decade, there has been a groundswell of research investigating the effects of anthropogenic disturbances, including urban expansion, agricultural intensification, the spread of invasive species, and climate change, on patterns of pollinator diversity. Research is just now beginning to take the next steps to explore the linkages between changes in pollinator communities to their effect on pollination, plant reproduction, and patterns of natural selection on floral and flowering traits. Our goal is to highlight work from diverse systems and to emphasize new approaches and methodologies. Contributors are those leading the way to utilize and integrate new approaches to address pollination within the context of global change, including graduate students, post-docs, assistant professors, and more senior faculty (or practitioners). Each speaker was selected as one who draws on perspectives from across sub-disciplines in ecology. As a whole, they bring a very diverse set of perspectives, approaches and methods from innovative labs studying Pollination Biology.
