Pollination and Restoration, Kingsley W. Dixon, Science Vol. 325, 31 July
2009 

Abstract: 

"Pollination services underpin sustainability of restored ecosystems.  Yet,
outside of agri-environments, effective restoration of pollinator services
in ecological restoration has received little attention. This deficiency in
the knowledge needed to restore pollinator capability represents a major
liability in restoration programs, particularly in regions where specialist
invertebrate and vertebrate pollinators exist, such as global biodiversity
hotspots.  When compounded with the likely negative impacts of climate
change on pollination services the need to understand and manage pollinator
services in restoration becomes paramount."
