Bumblebee resilience to climate change, through plastic and adaptive responses
Bumblebees are ubiquitous, cold‐adapted eusocial bees found worldwide from subarctic to
tropical regions of the world. They are key pollinators in most temperate and boreal …

Key tropical crops at risk from pollinator loss due to climate change and land use
Insect pollinator biodiversity is changing rapidly, with potential consequences for the
provision of crop pollination. However, the role of land use–climate interactions in pollinator …

Adaptations to thermal stress in social insects: recent advances and future directions
R Perez, S Aron - Biological Reviews, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Thermal stress is a major driver of population declines and extinctions. Shifts in thermal
regimes create new environmental conditions, leading to trait adaptation, population …

On the development of a predictive functional trait approach for studying terrestrial arthropods
The characterization of ecological communities with functional traits allows to consider
simultaneously the ability of a species to survive and reproduce in an environment, its …

[HTML][HTML] Decline in wild bee species richness associated with honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) abundance in an urban ecosystem
The spatial heterogeneity of urban landscapes, relatively low agrochemical use, and
species-rich floral communities often support a surprising diversity of wild pollinators in …

Ecological and evolutionary drivers of the elevational gradient of diversity
Ecological, evolutionary, spatial and neutral theories make distinct predictions and provide
distinct explanations for the mechanisms that control the relationship between diversity and …

Increased body size along urbanization gradients at both community and intraspecific level in macro‐moths
Urbanization involves a cocktail of human‐induced rapid environmental changes and is
forecasted to gain further importance. Urban‐heat‐island effects result in increased …

Patterns of size variation in bees at a continental scale: does Bergmann's rule apply?
Body size latitudinal clines have been widley explained by the Bergmann's rule in
homeothermic vertebrates. However, there is no general consensus in poikilotherms …

How will climatic warming affect insect pollinators?
Predicting the effects of climate warming on insect pollinators is challenging. Insects are
small, mobile, and can be excellent thermoregulators. We describe behavioral and …
