1 Introduction Pollination plays a key role in supporting biodiversity and food production in agricultural landscapes (IPBES 2016), with an estimated 30% of the global food crop production volume depending on pollinators (Klein et al. 2007). Recognised as a key Nature's Contribution to People (IPBES 2019), pollination services underpin the availability of diverse and nutritionally balanced diets (Eilers et al. 2011; Smith et al. 2015; Gazzea et al.

1 WHY GRAPH CHOICE IS IMPORTANT Humans like to process quantitative information in graphic form (Pinker, 2014). This tendency is so pronounced that, for many, figures are the most important element when reading a scientific paper (Hubbard & Dunbar, 2017), with some looking at figures and tables before reading any of the text in the results section (Carey et al., 2020).

2.4 Measuring male mating success We measured the mating success of each adult male in noncompetitive (‘no-choice’ mating trial) male–female pairs (see Hall et al., 2008; Shackleton et al., 2005). We sampled the CHCs of each male using SPME and then allocated a female at random to the male. The male from each pair was then introduced into a plastic container (20 × 10 × 10 cm) with the bottom lined with paper towel and given 5 min to acclimate.
