Abstract
Only 36% of the at-risk pollinator species had one or more recovery strategies. Larval food plant species were known for 88% of the Lepidopterans. Adult food plant species were known for 45% of all at-risk pollinators, with an additional 27% considered to be “generalists”. All four of the insect recovery strategies available called for more research into habitat needs and management. By identifying and addressing these knowledge gaps, more effective and efficient management plans may be implemented for future species recovery.
