Humans are dependent on pollinators for food security and for a vast number of services mediated by wild and cultivated plants, yet we know little about how pollination services could be affected by changes in local and regional climate. In this chapter, we review the current literature on pollination services and environmental change and provide ecologically informed suggestions for managing pollination services, focusing on native pollinators. Our management suggestions are intended to be generalizable for scientists and policy makers across communities and ecoregions. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
