Changes in habitat caused by human activities (deforestation, fragmentation and loss of forests) ... more Changes in habitat caused by human activities (deforestation, fragmentation and loss of forests) impose environmental challenges for the survival of pollinator species and are the main drivers of the decline of pollinator populations (Ollerton, 2017; Wilson et al., 2018; Almeida et al., 2020). This important topic reminds us of the need to conserve natural habitats, since the pollination services performed by insects are not only essential to maintain biodiversity, but also for food production (Zermeño-Hernández et al., 2016; Stein et al., 2017), being considered of great economic value, since these environmental services represent U$ 577.00 billion annually and 35% of the food crops in the worldwide depend of the pollinating insects (Klein et al., 2007; Potts et al., 2016; Boscolo et al., 2017). Abstract Forest habitats are important sources of food and nesting resources for pollinators, primarily in urban areas and landscapes with intense agricultural activity. The forest fragment...
