Resumen:

In this chapter, we first document the present knowledge of wild and managed pollinators in Mexico. We reviewed literature of wild pollinators (e.g., insects, bats, and birds) and their contribution to wild plant reproduction and food production. As for managed pollinators, we described the actual and potential use of native pollinators (e.g., meliponiculture and bombiculture) in food production and pest control (biovectoring). Next, we outline the main threats that pollinators are exposed to in Mexico including habitat loss, pesticides, climate change, and exotic pollinator introduction, with a focus on which pollinator groups are more vulnerable. Finally, we report pollinator status of conservation and successful conservation strategies implemented in Mexico. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
