摘要	Since mid-1990s, concerns have increased about a human-induced pollination crisis. Threats have been identified to animals that act as plant pollinators, plants pollinated by these animals, and consequently human well-being. Threatening processes include loss of natural habitat, climate change, pesticide use, pathogen spread, and introduced species. However, concern has mostly been during last 10-15 years and from Europe and North America, with Australasia, known as Down-Under, receiving little attention. So perhaps Australasia has dodged the bullet? We systematically reviewed the published literature relating to the pollination crisis via Web of Science, focusing on issues amenable to this approach. Across these issues, we found a steep increase in publications over the last few decades and a major geographic bias towards Europe and North America, with relatively little attention in Australasia. While publications from Australasia are underrepresented, factors responsible elsewhere for causing the pollination crisis commonly occur in Australasia, so this lack of coverage probably reflects a lack of awareness rather than the absence of a problem. In other words, Australasia has not dodged the bullet and should take immediate action to address and mitigate its own pollination crisis. Sensible steps would include increased taxonomic work on suspected plant pollinators, protection for pollinator populations threatened with extinction, establishing long-term monitoring of plant-pollinator relationships, incorporating pollination into sustainable agriculture, restricting the use of various pesticides, adopting an Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management approach, and developing partnerships with First Nations peoples for research, conservation and management of plants and their pollinators. Appropriate Government policy, funding and regulation could help. The pollination crisis has relatively little attention in Australasia or Down Under, in comparison with Europe and North America, suggesting that this region may have escaped the problem or dodged the bullet. However, factors underlying the pollination crisis commonly occur in Australasia, and so the lack of concern there reflects lack of awareness and is not justified. Consequently, Australasia should immediately address and mitigate its own pollination crisis, facilitated through policy, regulation, and funding.image
