Resumo
Seventy five percent of the world’s food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence,
there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical
ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available,
we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to
crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and
inform management actions. Here, we present CropPol, a dynamic, open, and global
database on crop pollination. It contains measurements recorded from 202 crop stud ies, covering 3,394 field observations, 2,552 yield measurements (i.e., berry mass,
number of fruits, and fruit density [kg/ha], among others), and 47,752 insect records
from 48 commercial crops distributed around the globe. CropPol comprises 32 of the
87 leading global crops and commodities that are pollinator dependent. Malus dome stica is the most represented crop (32 studies), followed by Brassica napus (22 studies), Vaccinium corymbosum (13 studies), and Citrullus lanatus (12 studies).
The most abundant pollinator guilds recorded are honey bees (34.22% counts), bum blebees (19.19%), flies other than Syrphidae and Bombyliidae (13.18%), other wild
bees (13.13%), beetles (10.97%), Syrphidae (4.87%), and Bombyliidae (0.05%). Loca tions comprise 34 countries distributed among Europe (76 studies), North America
(60), Latin America and the Caribbean (29), Asia (20), Oceania (10), and Africa (7).
Sampling spans three decades and is concentrated on 2001–2005 (21 studies), 2006–
2010 (40), 2011–2015 (88), and 2016–2020 (50). This is the most comprehensive open
global data set on measurements of crop flower visitors, crop pollinators and pollina tion to date, and we encourage researchers to add more datasets to this database in
the future. This data set is released for non-commercial use only. Credits should be
given to this paper (i.e., proper citation), and the products generated with this
