Abstract
Insect pollinators have undergone declines across the world, a result of factors including intensive agriculture, habitat loss, climate change and invasive species. This represents a major concern in Latin America (LATAM) where it threatens economically important crops and wider biodiversity. The impact of these losses in LATAM remains poorly understood, undermining the capacity to develop policies vital to mitigate pollinator losses and support both agricultural production and wider ecosystem health. A new, coherent evidence base is required, that considers impacts on individual species, their distributions and populations, the landscapes they persist in and their unique capacities to deliver pollination to different crops. Without this it will not be possible to develop the applied experimental and modelling solutions policy makers need to deliver sustainable farming economies. This proposal builds on Newton Phase 1 project SURPASS, an international collaboration between 37 participants, that identified knowledge gaps, issues, and research areas that prioritise conservation and sustainable use of LATAM pollinators. The SURPASS2 goal is to deliver evidence for the creation of resilient pollination services for sustainable economic growth, improved human health and wellbeing as well as positive environmental and agricultural outcomes. This will be addressed by five main objectives, co-designed with academics and stakeholders that establish interconnected work packages that build capacity to manage pollination services and provide tangible outcomes. Our goals will be delivered through 4 work packages:
WP1) Monitoring populations and understanding their distributions: before any effective solution can be developed to manage LATAM pollinators it is crucial that we understand the current distribution of species and develop and trial approaches for long term monitoring. Only by understanding where pollinators can be found can we develop applied solutions to manage them. We will design a standardised framework to assess the status and trends of pollinator populations through existing and new monitoring schemes, including citizen science.
WP2) How does the environment in which pollinators live affect them, and how does this affect capacity to provide crop pollination: Land use change and land management represent fundamental factors affecting pollinator populations. We will undertake detailed landscape scale experiments across LATAM focusing on production of economically significant crops to understand how landscape management affects pollinators and the pollination services they supply. This will provide data for models and help growers, land managers and policy makers to optimise pollination to sustainably increase crop yields and quality. We will also quantify how invasive species of pollinators impact on wild and native insect pollinators and plants.
WP3) Understanding national scale deficits in pollination for key crops identifying areas where pollination services are at high risk. Using cutting edge satellite imagery we will map nationally the occurrence of key insect pollinated crops. We will link this data to the distribution of insect pollinator communities to assess if these populations provide adequate pollination, as well as modelling how resilient these communities are to species losses. As each species of insect pollinator is unique their loss can have potentially huge consequences for agricultural production.
WP4) Develop a national scale predictive framework to support policy goals of maximising benefits for agricultural productivity provided by pollination. This will integrate results from WP1-3 to model pollinator communities to develop effective strategies for decision making processes for different stakeholders that benefit from insect pollination. This will provide the framework to work with stakeholders to produce a roadmap for maximising pollination services and long term monitoring in LATAM.

Planned Impact
Healthy and resilient ecosystems underpin human well-being and quality of life. Pollinators contribute to plant reproduction in natural and managed ecosystems which supports food security, local and national economies, and provides wider biodiversity and ecosystem benefits (IPBES, Aichi targets, UN SDGs). Data on wild pollinators needed to inform management strategies is a gap for food provisioning and biodiversity relevant to UN SDG 2: Zero Hunger. SURPASS2 will provide tools to configure landscapes for maximal ecosystem service provision and to optimise natural resource based economies. The major output of the project will be managed and wild bee population valuation and decision support tools. SURPASS2 will also foster communications between diverse stakeholders; through the above tools it will empower growers and food supply chains to make more informed land management decisions; and inform policy makers to improve decisions for ecosystem and livelihood resilience. We will identify opportunities to incorporate new knowledge / tools to develop landscape scale management approaches. This will not be a singularly "top-down" approach and we will aim to empower smallholders and help local communities make healthy and sustainable decisions to take action toward their wellbeing and economic development. SURPASS2 will also offer improvements to the future cultural and social recognition of the vital roles that pollinators, and those that work with them, play in sustaining crop production and ecosystem functioning. This will lead to greater public engagement in efforts to conserve pollination services across LATAM regions. We will initiate and exploit opportunities to share research outcomes with the following sectors:
National and regional government departments, policy makers and regulators (e.g. Environment, Agriculture & Science ministries; Agricultural & National Forestry services). Our mechanistic, evidence based predictions of the impacts of landscape management at multiple scales, will support policy decisions and provide guidelines to implement nature-based solutions that maximise ecosystem benefits within both natural and agricultural systems.
Farming communities, land managers & beekeepers (e.g. farmers, farmers associations, amateur, indigenous & commercial beekeepers). We will engage communities to explore how different management practices and landscape configuration/ management and enhance crop yields, hive products and health and improve knowledge of wider ecosystem benefits. This will help foster attitude changes and increase awareness.
Agri-food sector actors (e.g. agrochemical companies, wholesalers, processors, retailers). We will engage with supply chains to highlight the impacts of different practices and attitudes on nature based economies, catalyse the development of shared best practice & encourage responsible market demands.
NGOS/Conservation bodies/Learned Societies (e.g. Pollination & Biodiversity recording networks, bee conservation trusts, ecological societies) will be able to use the project outputs to inform conservation management practices (nationally & internationally) and provide evidence to enhance their broader policy and advocacy work.
General public. The importance of pollinators and their conservation has attracted wide public interest, and received great attention from the international media. Communicating the observed and potential impacts of environmental change based on objective, science based evidence is crucial. A diverse range of public outreach activities events will enable us to directly communicate our project findings and wider information with the general public, both adults and children.

Description | The Covid-19 outbreak substantially impacted all planned citizen science-related work (original activities were replaced with desk based study and mobile app), the planned large scale field experiment (delayed and scope adjusted) and the subsequent lab based sample analysis (delayed and scope adjusted). The face-to-face stakeholder workshops were cancelled due to both Covid-19 and ODA cuts. Achievements: The project has improved our understanding of bias in species occurrence data and how citizen science monitoring programs can help fill the gaps and has adapted the European Flower-Insect Timed Count mobile app for use in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Major data entries into GBIF have substantially increased the volume of open access insect pollinator data for Chile, Argentina and Brazil and a new set of glossary terms for the Darwin Core standard is now enabling the inclusion of functional traits for insect pollinators. • ODA relevance: Facilitating and enhancing standardised pollinator data gathering activities is key to improve monitoring and so enhance the evidence supporting decision making. Encouraging citizen science based monitoring will supporting public engagement in efforts to conserve pollination services across Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The project delivered coordinated research though a multi country (Chile, Argentina, Brazil) experimental network of crop (blueberry, soya and canola) 55 case studies replicated along land use gradients. Within this framework, we assessed (i) visitation and pollinator efficacy, (ii) contribution to yield and yield quality, (iii) farmer expectations from crop pollination, (iv) effects of latitudinal diversity clines on ecosystem service provision, and (v) the response of pollinator community composition to management and land use. The project also quantified, through a monitoring network of > 100 sites, the impact of the invasive Bombus terrestris (Buff tailed bumblebee, imported to support crop pollination) as it expands northwards from Chile into Argentina. We used molecular approaches to quantify risks associated with disease spill over into wild bee populations and the consequences that this has for reduced pollination efficiency as competition occurs with wild crop pollinators. • ODA relevance: The project's continental scale evidence gathering will support decision making at all levels, helping local communities, smallholders, and land managers optimise pollination for sustainable food production and informing regional and national level policy makers. This will directly benefit Brazil, Argentina and Chile and has applicability across Latin America. The project developed a YourMapsYourWay remote sensing app to build capacity and co-develop Earth observation (EO) based land cover maps. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) app provides non-EO specialists with an intuitive user interface enabling non-Remote Sensing-experts and non-GEE experts to create a land cover map for their chosen area of interest. The tool, accompanied with individual on-line training sessions, built EO capacity within the LATAM teams. • ODA relevance: EO derived land cover and use maps form the basis for monitoring changes in the landscape. The YourMapsYourWay approach is removing an important technical barrier that has stopped non-experts benefitting from EO information. |

Description | The collaborative research undertaken has helped understand management and best land use practices to support sustainable development of pollinator dependent crops. The project enhanced appreciation of collaborative research, within and between countries (which is not common practice in South America). SURPASS has shown the benefit of working together through collaborative output and provided some solutions to address the challenge of collaborative research. A tangible outcome are the 5 PhD students from four different regions and research groups working together on soybean pollination and land cover mapping. Impact has been achieved by enhancing citizen science opportunities for pollinator monitoring, through publication of a new guide book (in Spanish and Portuguese) and development of the FIT Count app (https://fitcount.ceh.ac.uk/) in Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

While this is likely to be seen across a range of farming systems, its impact on alleviating poverty is likely to be more significant for smaller scale farmers. The impact of the invasive species component of this project will be seen in terms of the identification of the consequences of invasive bumblebee species imported to promote pollination of some crops and its role in providing an evidence base for prompting long term policy shifts in the regulation of this industry. |

Impact | "Since the launch of this platform, 807 data on the occurrences of 8 species have been reported from 21 out of the 23 Argentine provinces: B. dahlbomii (360), Bombus 'negro' (276) (meaning all black bumblebees that are not possible to identify from the picture), B. terrestris (206), B. ruderatus (42), B. bellicosus (18), B. opifex (9), B. tucumanus (4), B. brasiliensis (1), and B. baeri (1). Approximately one quarter of records identified by contributors as bumblebees belong to a different group of insects. The taxa usually misidentified as Bombus are Xylocopa, Cadeguala, Diphaglossa and Chalepogenus. This example illustrates the power of the citizen science approach for gathering massive numbers of data from vast regions, as well as the challenges in terms of species' identifications." |

Title | BEE-STEWARD: a research and decision support software for effective land management to promote bumblebee populations |
Description | The demand for agent-based models to explore the effects of environmental change on pollinator population dynamics is growing. However, models need a simple yet flexible interface to enable adoption by a wide range of stakeholders. We introduce BEE-STEWARD: a research and decision-support software tool, enabling researchers, policy-makers, land management advisors, and practitioners to predict and compare the effects of bee-friendly management interventions on bumblebee populations over several years. BEE-STEWARD integrates the BEESCOUT and Bumble-BEEHAVE agent-based models of bumblebee behaviour, colony growth and landscape exploration into a user-friendly interface, with reconstructed code, and expanded functionality. Bespoke automatic reports can be created to illustrate how different land management interventions can affect the densities of bumblebees and their colonies over time. BEE-STEWARD could be an important virtual test-bed for scientists exploring the impacts of different stressors on bumblebees and used by those with little or no modelling experience, enabling a shared methodology between research, policy, and practice. |

Title | Chilean flower visitors |
Description | This database contains a large dataset of Chilean flower visitors (insects) with 12,001 records from 118 species of 21 families belonging to four orders (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, and Coleoptera), comprising over a century of data. This dataset contains samples from six major institutions in Chile (National Museum of Natural History, University of Chile, Metropolitan University of Education Sciences, Austral University of Chile, the Chilean Agricultural and Livestock Bureau, and Luis Pe?a's private entomological collection). A first effort to digitize this information was made in 2008 through the IABIN project that gathered pollinator datasets from Latin America (led by Cecilia Smith-Ramirez and conducted by Karen Ya?ez, supported by the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity - IEB), but when the funding was over, the database became offline. Now, in the frame of the SURPASS2 project, we recovered this dataset, and performed a major data cleaning, updated the taxonomy, checked the geographic coordinates (where available), and standardized it to DarwinCore to make it freely available through GBIF. This endeavor adds to a previous dataset published in 2020, aiming to make this natural legacy open to everyone and encourage more research in this field. |

Title | Landscape structure and farming management interacts to modulate pollination supply and crop production in blueberries |
Description | Pollination services are affected by landscape context, farming management, and pollinator community structure, all of which impact flower visitation rates, pollen deposition and final production. We studied these processes in Argentina for Highbush Blueberry crops which depend on pollinators to produce marketable yields. We studied how land cover and honeybee stocking influence the abundance of wild and managed pollinators in blueberry crops, using structural equation modeling to disentangle the cascading effects through which pollinators contribute to blueberry fruit number, size, nutritional content and overall yield. All pollinator functional groups responded to landscape changes at a spatial scale under 1000 m, and the significance or direction of the effects were modulated by the field-level deployment of honeybee hives. Fruit diameter increased with pollen deposited, but decreased with honeybee abundance, which, had indirect effects on fruit acidity and sugar content. Honeybees had a positive effect on the number of fruit produced by the plants and also benefited the overall yield (kg plant-1) through independent effects on both the quality and quantity components of fruit production. Synthesis and applications: Deployment of beehives in blueberry fields can buffer, but not compensate for the negative effects on honeybee abundance produced by surrounding large scale none-flowering crops. Such compensation would require high-quality beehives by monitoring their health and strength. The contribution of honeybees to crop production is not equal across production metrics. That is, higher abundance of honeybees increases the number of berries produced, but at the cost of smaller and more acidic fruits, potentially reducing market value. Growers must consider this trade-off between fruit quantity and quality when actively managing honeybee abundance. |

Title | Phenological overlap between crop and pollinators - Dataset |
Description | Phenological overlap between crop flowering and pollinators is a crucial trait for the pollination of more than 75% of the world's crops. However, crop management rarely considers the seasonal aspect of plant-pollinator mutualism. Here, we explore the phenological overlap between crops and pollinators and how it affects pollination and fruit production. We measured the abundance and richness of native and non-native pollinators visiting raspberry flowers at two different times during the flowering season (i.e., early and late flowering periods) and examined their effects on crop yield in 16 fields. The community of pollinators foraging on raspberry flowers was more diverse and dominated by native pollinators during the early flowering period when most native plants were in flower. Later in the season, when native flower resources in the environment declined, raspberry flowers were visited mainly by two non-native bees: managed honeybees and the invasive bumblebee Bombus terrestris. Pollinator contribution to raspberry yield was twice as high in the early flowering period compared to the late period (61% vs. 31% increase in drupelet set, respectively). Flower damage caused by extremely high visitation frequency by non-native bees was also six times lower in the early than in the late flowering period (5% vs. 30% of damaged flowers, respectively). Synthesis and applications: Providing sufficient pollen and nectar resources to support wild pollinators over extended periods in agricultural landscapes can contribute to crop pollination and ensure high fruit weight and quality. This can be achieved by restoring natural and semi-natural areas next to crop fields with native, long-flowering plant species. Additionally, growers and crop breeding programmes should consider selection of flowering time to coincide with the period of high diversity or abundance of native pollinators in order to reduce dependence on managed pollinators. |

Title | Soybean dependence on biotic pollination decreases with latitude - Data and Computer code |
Description | Release of Datasets and R scripts needed to reproduce the analyses and figures published in the article 'Soybean dependence on biotic pollination decreases with latitude', published in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, Volume 347, 1 May 2023, 108376. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2023.108376 Highlights In the absence of pollinators, soybean yield decreases between 0 and ~50%. Variation in pollinator dependence (PD) was found to be structured latitudinally. PD decreases at high latitudes due to an apparently higher incidence of autogamy. Temperature and photoperiod could play an important role in determining PD. Changes in cleistogamy and androsterility might explain the reported trends. Abstract Identifying large-scale patterns of variation in pollinator dependence (PD) in crops is important from both basic and applied perspectives. Evidence from wild plants indicates that this variation can be structured latitudinally. Individuals from populations at high latitudes may be more selfed and less dependent on pollinators due to higher environmental instability and overall lower temperatures, environmental conditions that may affect pollinator availability. However, whether this pattern is similarly present in crops remains unknown. Soybean (Glycine max), one of the most important crops globally, is partially self-pollinated and autogamous, exhibiting large variation in the extent of PD (from a 0 to ~50% decrease in yield in the absence of animal pollination). We examined latitudinal variation in soybean's PD using data from 28 independent studies distributed along a wide latitudinal gradient (4-43 degrees). We estimated PD by comparing yields between open pollinated and pollinator-excluded plants. In the absence of pollinators, soybean yield was found to decrease by an average of ~30%. However, PD decreases abruptly at high latitudes, suggesting a relative increase in autogamous seed production. Pollinator supplementation does not seem to increase seed production at any latitude. We propose that latitudinal variation in PD in soybean may be driven by temperature and photoperiod affecting the expression of cleistogamy and androsterility. Therefore, an adaptive mating response to an unpredictable pollinator environment apparently common in wild plants can also be imprinted in highly domesticated and genetically-modified crops.

Title | Wild bees of Chile - The PUCV collection |
Description | This database presents the largest dataset of Chilean wild bees (Apoidea) with 35,743 records from 168 species, comprising over 40 years of data. This collection is held by the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, being the largest in the country. Prof. Haroldo Toro started this collection and prof. Luisa Ruz continued his legacy. A first effort to digitize this information was made in 2008 through the IABIN project that gathered pollinator datasets from Latin America, but when the funding was over, the database became offline. Now, in the frame of the SURPASS2 project, we recovered the PUCV wild bee collection, updated the taxonomy, estimated geographic coordinates for most of the records, and standardized it to DarwinCore to make it freely available through GBIF. This endeavor aims to open this natural legacy to everyone and encourage more research in this field. |

Title | YMYW - Your Maps Your Way with Google Earth Engine |
Description | Your Maps Your Way (YMYW) Background YMYW is an interactive Google Earth Engine application. It is designed to allow users with only basic knowledge of satellite imagery and supervised learning techniques to create detailed habitat/land cover maps anywhere in the world with a thematic structure chosen by the user - Your Maps, Your Way. The current version of YMYW allows the classification of optical Sentinel-2 and Landsat imagery, but advanced users will find it straightforward to adapt the code to other available image collections. The development of YMYW began during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021). It allowed us to engage and collaborate with local ecologists in South America (Argentina, Brazil, and Chile) to create customised habitat maps for pollination modelling and analysis. Throughout the development of YMYW, our goal was to provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface to facilitate collaboration, support local experts and promote knowledge exchange between groups. When using YMYW, users can harness the computing power of Google's Earth Engine and integrate essential local knowledge to create high-quality land cover maps. How to cite this material Morton, R.D., & Schmucki, R. (2023). YMYW - Your Maps Your Way with Google Earth Engine (Version 1.0.0) [Computer software]. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7624622 In a Nutshell - Before you start with YMYW, you must Sign Up and get access to Google's Earth Engine (GEE). - In GEE, you can paste the JavaScript of YMYW into a new file in the GEE editor. Your Maps Your Way in 10 steps Draw the Area of Interest (AOI), name the newly created geometry "aoi', and press the "Run" button. Select the collection of satellite images to be classified (Sentinel-2 or Landsat). Define the year and the time periods (dates and months) that capture the land cover changes and phenology in the region of interest. Press the "Show composites" button to visualise the composite images; adjust cloud tolerance and time period as needed. Digitise training objects for specific land cover classes, using composite layers, the Google satellite layer, or other sources of information. To improve cross-validation, aim to draw many small training objects distributed across the AOI. Press the "Classify" button to run a random forest classifier to classify each pixel of the Area of Interest (AOI). Press the "Validate classification" button to cross-Validate the classification and evaluate its accuracy. Digitise additional training objects for misclassified land covers and areas. Repeat steps 6 to 8 until a satisfactory classification is achieved (go back to step 3 if necessary). Press the "Export classification and more" button to export the results: the land cover map, the training dataset, and the validation dataset. Export appears under the "Task" tab. Press "RUN" and fill in the export details to initiate the specific export. See the sequence of screenshots. Classification with YMYW is a heuristic, iterative process. At each iteration, training objects can be added and/or removed until the classification converges to an optimal result. The training objects are digitised using online image collections as base maps and the user's local knowledge of the area of interest. YMYW uses a supervised machine learning algorithm (Random Forests) that "learns and improves" mainly when its supervisor identifies where it makes mistakes (misclassification). In most cases, and with some practice, YMYW will produce a high-quality land cover/habitat map in a few iterations. YMYW allows the user to select and define the thematic structure of the classification used for land cover mapping. While this gives freedom to the user, we would also like to emphasise the importance of adopting a consistent and systematic approach when defining land cover classes (e.g., FAO Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). Examples To illustrate the use of YMYW, we provide two examples of digitised training data to produce a land cover map for 1) an area of interest near Zurich (Switzerland) and 2) an area of interest around the Leven Estuary near Ulverston (UK). Example 1. Zurich - This example (link above) contains the geometries (multipolygons) and parameters used to classify the Sentinel-2 images and create a land cover map for the region (AOI) around Zurich (Switzerland) using 10 land cover classes. Example 2. Ulverston & Leven Estuary - This example (link above) contains the geometries (multipolygons) and parameters used to classify the Sentinel-2 images and create a land cover map for the region (AOI) around the Leven Estuary near Ulverston (UK) using 13 land cover classes. Funding The development of the YMYW tool was funded by the UKRI Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through the Latin American Biodiversity Programme [Grant No. NE /S011870/2]. The project SURPASS2 was concerned with the safeguarding of pollinators and pollination services in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil and Chile). In this context, we developed YMYW to enable local ecologists to produce bespoke habitat maps for pollination models and analyses. YMWY receives ongoing support from the SABIOMA project and builds upon work supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability (UKRI). Credits Daniel Morton (DM) developed the first iteration of YMWY and Reto Schmucki (RS) implemented revisions and enhancements. DM and RS will continue to develop and improve and extend the functionality of the YMYW distribution. YMYW incorporates the collective ideas and knowledge of past and present members of the UKCEH Land Cover Team, in particular Daniel Morton, Clare Rowland, Chris Marston and Luis Carassco. |

Results and Impact | We live today in a risky society, which imposes on the current and future generations the need to know how to deal with uncertainties and the complexities of the environmental, social, political and economic systems that lead to the threat to the continuity of the human species on the planet. These uncertainties can directly affect individual and collective health, making it imperative that individuals understand the causes and consequences of global changes so that they can not only reflect, but also act individually and demand action from their representatives in the government based on that understanding and on evidence. Citizen science offers the opportunity for social participation in the generation of scientific knowledge and, at the same time, can empower individuals towards change. To discuss this issue, the panel counted with the presence of three guests: Dr. Alan Irwin (presentation title - "Citizen Science: a new knowledge politics?"); Dr. Andrea Grover (presentation title - "Citizen Science for Community Resilience") and Dr. Uta When (presentation title - "Facilitating the co-design of purpose-driven Citizen Science for Planetary Health") |

Results and Impact | A talk on biodiversity-friendly practices, including management of plot edges to foster pollinator populations to local potato growers in SE Pampean region. The talk was one of many that took place during a one day workshop organized by Pepsico for their local producers. As a result of this talk the owner of Ep Parque Papas (a major player in the local potato trade/storage) decided to install a demostrative enclosure (one hectare or so) to restore a natural grassland at the premises. We agreed to sample pollinators regularly starting 2020/2021 season. As soon as the quarantine is lifted I will travel to the location to advise on setting up the enclosure. |
