About 3/4 of all wild bee species nest in the soil and spend much of their life cycle
underground. These insects require suitable environmental conditions for nest construction …

The mutualism between plants and their pollinators provides globally important ecosystem
services, but it is likely to be disrupted by global warming that can cause mismatches …

Insects are the focus of many recent studies suggesting population declines, but even
invaluable pollination service providers such as bees lack a modern distributional synthesis …

Urban areas are often perceived to have lower biodiversity than the wider countryside, but a
few small-scale studies suggest that some urban land uses can support substantial …

Insect pollinators provide a crucial ecosystem service, but are under threat. Urban areas
could be important for pollinators, though their value relative to other habitats is poorly …

Highlights•Bees' specific nutritional requirements are partitioned between pollen and
nectar.•Nectar and pollen provide carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and micronutrients.•Bee …

Bees are essential pollinators of many crops and wild plants, and pesticide exposure is one
of the key environmental stressors affecting their health in anthropogenically modified …

The relative importance of specialized and generalized plant‐pollinator relationships is
contentious, yet analyses usually avoid direct measures of pollinator quality (effectiveness) …

Plant phenology is strongly controlled by climate and has consequently become one of the
most reliable bioindicators of ongoing climate change. We used a dataset of more than 200 …

Wild bees, like many other taxa, are threatened by land‐use and climate change, which, in
turn, jeopardizes pollination of crops and wild plants. Understanding how land‐use and …
