Anthropogenic climate change and invasive species are two of the greatest threats to
biodiversity, affecting the survival, fitness and distribution of many species around the globe …

The rapid decline of bee populations over the last decade is thought to be driven by a
combination of environmental change, habitat loss, invasive species, co-introduced disease …

For bees to reach isolated islands, they need to be able to cross large water barriers.
However, functional traits such as nesting behavior, flight range, and body size can limit their …

The small carpenter bee, Ceratina (Neoceratina) dentipes, is an invasive species throughout
the South Pacific and has been identified as one of three alien Ceratina species established …

Species distribution modelling (SDM) has been applied to multiple bee species to examine
how they may respond to future climate change. Those studies indicate a variety of likely …

Background In a world where insects and notably bees are declining, assessing their
distribution over time and space is crucial to evaluate species status and highlight …

Island plant–pollinator networks are typically simpler than their continental counterparts and
this can make them less resilient to disturbance from exotic species. French Polynesia has a …

The Australian buzz pollinating bee Amegilla pulchra (Anthophorini) is now widespread in
Fiji and represents a potentially major change to plant‐pollinator networks. The introduction …

Invasive bee species may have a widely detrimental impact on their novel host ecosystem.
Introduced bees can rapidly disrupt native plant-pollinator mutualisms through competition …

In isolated islands with low pollinator diversity, it has been suggested that native pollinators
should evolve into super-generalists that could facilitate the spread of exotic plant species …
