Consider this: Without interaction between animals and flowering plants, the seeds and fruits that make up nearly eighty percent of the human diet would not exist.In The Forgotten Pollinators, Stephen L. Buchmann, one of the world's leading authorities on bees and pollination, and Gary Paul Nabhan, awardwinning writer and renowned crop ecologist, explore the vital but littleappreciated relationship between plants and the animals they depend on for reproduction bees, beetles, butterflies, hummingbirds, moths, bats, and countless other animals, some widely recognized and other almost unknown.Scenes from around the globe examining island flora and fauna on the Galapagos, counting bees in the Panamanian rain forest, witnessing an ancient honeyhunting ritual in Malaysia bring to life the hidden relationships between plants and animals, and demonstrate the ways in which human society affects and is affected by those relationships. Buchmann and Nabhan combine vignettes from the field with expository discussions of ecology, botany, and crop science to present a lively and fascinating account of the ecological and cultural context of plantpollinator relationships.More than any other natural process, plantpollinator relationships offer vivid examples of the connections between endangered species and threatened habitats. The authors explain how humaninduced changes in pollinator populations caused by overuse of chemical pesticides, unbridled development, and conversion of natural areas into monocultural croplandcan have a ripple effect on disparate species, ultimately leading to a 'cascade of linked extinctions.'
