A fascinating paper with important implications for pollinator conservation 🪰
We need much more semi-natural habitat (6-37%, depending on species group) in agricultural landscapes to effectively conserve pollinators. Large collaborative synthesis study looking at 59 studies in 1250 landscapes from 19 countries now published in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Despite being among the most extensively studied bees worldwide, we are only at the dawn of understanding the intricate universe of bumblebees. Excellent overview of bumblebees from @LChittka et al in Current biology www.cell.com/current-biol...
Bumblebees
Ghisbain et al. give an overview of the behavior, biogeography, conservation, ecology
and evolution of bumblebees.

Predicting landscape‐scale native bumble bee habitat use over space, time, and forage availability
The distribution and abundance of foraging resources are key determinants of animal habitat use and persistence. Decades of agricultural expansion and intensification, along with the introduction of ...
