“…The underlying causes for changes within a pollinator community are therefore highly variable. Climate change and variability from 1961 to 2010 and projections up to 2050 and its impacts on the oil palm leaf miner-Coelaenomenodera elaeidis in Edo State, Nigeria has been evaluated (Aneni et al 2015). Currently, honey bee farmers in Nigeria, have observed low yield and the crystallized honey combs in their hives (Centre for Bee Research and Development (CEBRAD) 2016) which has been attributed to increased rainfall intensity (scarcity period for honey bee activity) (Oyerinde et al 2014).…”

Alien plant species have been essential for farming and agro-forestry systems and for their supply of food, fiber, tannins, resins or wood from antiquity to the present. They also contributed to supporting functions and regulating services (water, soil, biodiversity) and to the design of landscapes with high cultural and scenic value. Some of those species were intentionally introduced, others arrived accidentally, and a small proportion escaped, naturalized and became invasive in natural ecosystems-these are known as invasive alien species (IAS). Here, invasive means that these species have some significant negative impact, either by spreading from human-controlled environments (e.g. fields, gardens) to natural ecosystems, where they can cause problems to native species, or to other production systems or urban areas, impacting on agricultural, forestry activities or human
