Influence of combined pesticide and parasite exposure on bumblebee colony traits in the laboratory (2014, background): “2010) and bumblebees in particular (Goulson, Lye & Darvill 2008; Grixti et al. 2009; Cameron et al. 2011) is indicative of increasingly less viable populations (Carvalheiro et al.”
Habitat restoration benefits wild bees: A meta‐analysis (2018, background): “To combat habitat loss, there has been considerable research evaluating the effectiveness of habitat enhancements for wild bees in otherwise developed landscapes, such as agricultural systems or cities (Dicks, Showler, & Sutherland, 2010; Grixti et al., 2009; Hall et al., 2016; MacIvor & Packer, 201”
Decline of bumble bees in northeastern North America, with special focus on Bombus terricola (2018, background): “Bombus terricola, on the other hand, only remains known in highelevation refuges in the northeast and Appalachian Mountains, its range having shrunk 31% (Grixti et al., 2009; Cameron et al., 2011; Bushmann and Drummond, 2015; Tucker and Rehan, 2017).”
Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees (2011, background): “terricola, N = 31) (10, 12, 20) and four thought to have relatively stable populations (west: B.”
How many flowering plants are pollinated by animals (2011, background): “…of the functional importance of biotic pollination, recent evidence for declines in native pollinator abundance and diversity has generated widespread concern (Biesmeijer et al. 2006, Kosior et al. 2007, Colla and Packer 2008, Grixti et al. 2009, Winfree et al. 2009, though see Ghazoul 2005).”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “In its wake, rare species associated with pristine ecosystems and natural habitats either retreated or were entirely lost (Grixti et al., 2009; Ollerton et al., 2014).”
Intensification of agriculture, landscape composition and wild bee communities: a large scale study in four European countries. (2010, background): “, 2007) as well as in North America (Grixti et al., 2009).”
Conserving Pollinators in North American Forests: A Review (2016, background): “Some evidence indicates that while at least one of the 46 bumble bee species known to occur in North America has gone extinct, half may now be at risk (Grixti et al. 2009; Williams et al. 2014).”
Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, background): “abundance is generally reduced in many regions (Frankie et al. 2009; Grixti et al. 2009; Potts et al. 2010; Leonhardt et al. 2013; Ollerton et al. 2014).”
