The pollinator library: a decision-support tool for improving national pollinator conservation efforts Active
Pollinator declines have emphasized the need for a greater understanding of plant-pollinator networks and land management activities that improve pollinator habitat. At the request of USDA and FWS partners, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center created the Pollinator Library for managers and researchers interested in improving pollinator forage on federal and private lands. The aim of the Pollinator Library, which is managed and created at the Center, is to support management and research of plant-pollinator systems by documenting, synthesizing, and disseminating information on flowers that are used by pollinators and other insects. By providing free access to essential information, the Pollinator Library facilitates a better understanding of the foraging and habitat needs of flower-visiting insects and plant-pollinator systems. Currently, the Pollinator Library hosts records of ≈27,000 pollinator and host plant interactions, including records from 13 states.
Emerging themes from the ESA symposium entitled “Pollinator nutrition: Lessons from bees at individual to landscape levels”
Using publicly available data to quantify plant–pollinator interactions and evaluate conservation seeding mixes in the Northern Great Plains
Concern over declining pollinators has led to multiple conservation initiatives for improving forage for bees in agroecosystems. Using data available through the Pollinator Library (npwrc.usgs.gov/pollinator/), we summarize plant–pollinator interaction data collected from 2012–2015 on lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and private lands enrolled in U.S. Department of Agriculture c
