Abstract: Insect pollination is an interspecific mutually beneficial behavior with important ecological functions and economic significance. For human beings, it promoted crop yield and quality, provided honey and other products, and delivered significant economic and ecological benefits. In recent years, the research on the conservation and function of pollinators has gained increasing attention. The establishment of natural protected areas has emerged as a crucial measure to protect pollinators, accompanied by a growing body of research assessing the comprehensive benefits of their ecosystem services. This study employed Citespace to systematically map the research landscape of insect pollination benefit valuation both domestically and internationally. It summarized the current research characteristics and primary economic value assessment methods for pollinators, and on this basis, identified key challenges in the existing economic assessments of insect pollination benefits, and analyzed future research trends and hot spots. The study indicated that, based on publication volume, both domestic and international studies on the value assessment of insect pollination benefits progressed through an initial stage before 2007, a growth stage from 2008 to 2014, and a flourishing development stage after 2015. The main methods for economic value assessment included the crop price method, the replacement cost method, the partial equilibrium model, and the declarative preference method, etc. At present, value assessment was confronted with challenges such as limitations in data acquisition and measurement methodologies, as well as constraints posed by ecosystem dynamics and complexity. Future efforts should focus on multi-scale assessments and strengthened interdisciplinary research.
