Data from: Agriculturally dominated landscapes reduce bee phylogenetic diversity and pollination services

Land-use change threatens global biodiversity and may reshape the tree of
life by favoring some lineages over others. Whether phylogenetic diversity
loss compromises ecosystem service delivery remains unknown. We address
this knowledge gap using extensive genomic, community, and crop datasets
to examine relationships among land use, pollinator phylogenetic
structure, and crop production. Pollinator communities in highly
agricultural landscapes contain 230 million fewer years of evolutionary
history; this loss was strongly associated with reduced crop yield and
quality. Our study links landscape–mediated changes in the phylogenetic
structure of natural communities to the disruption of ecosystem services.
Measuring conservation success by species counts alone may fail to protect
ecosystem functions and the full diversity of life from which they are
derived.
