Bumble bees (Bombus) are unusually important pollinators, with approximately 260 wild
species native to all biogeographic regions except sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and New …

Global changes are severely affecting pollinator insect communities worldwide, resulting in
repeated patterns of species extirpations and extinctions. Whilst negative population trends …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Since the rise of agriculture, human populations have domesticated plant and animal
species to fulfil their needs. With modern agriculture, a limited number of these species has …

Climate and land-use change are recognised as the two main drivers of the ongoing
reorganisation of Earth's biodiversity, but understanding precisely their role in shaping …

While many bumblebee species decline due to climate and land-use changes, others cope
well with contemporary conditions. One example is Bombus terrestris, which is common in …

Highlights•Bumble bees face increasing physiological challenges in light of global
change.•Most progress in ecophysiological research is related to thermal biology and …

Aim Conventional species distribution models (SDMs) usually focus on the species level but
disregard intraspecific variability. Phylogeographic structure and evolutionary significant …

Aim We studied bumblebee diversity and bumblebee pollination networks along the
altitudinal gradient of Mt. Olympus, a legendary mountain in Central Greece, also known for …

Species range expansions are crucial for understanding niche formation and the interaction
with the environment. Here, we studied the bumblebee Bombus haematurus Kriechbaumer …
