ABSTRACT Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased dampening loss. Additionally, studies focus on diversity, while other important components, phylogenetic can exhibit differential responses....
Although conservation of pristine habitats is recognized in many countries as crucial for maintaining pollinator diversity, the contribution secondary forest poorly Latin American context, such Guatemala. San Lucas Tolimán (SLT) a high-quality coffee production region from Atitlan Province, which has second highest deciduous cover Guatemala and prioritized conservation. In contrast, protection undetermined, since these forests are normally removed or strongly affected by farming practices....
