Morphological traits are linked to the cold performance and distribution of bees along elevational gradients (2016, background): “…life history and species richness of bees is constrained by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors (e.g. availability of flower resources and humidity conditions) across broadly defined environmental gradients temperature appears to be of key importance (Hoiss et al., 2012; Classen et al., 2015).”
Elevational species richness gradients in a hyperdiverse insect taxon: a global meta-study on geometrid moths (2017, background): “For example, temperature was found to be a strong predictor of elevational richness patterns in reptiles (McCain, 2010), and studies on hymenopteran insects highlighted the link between temperature and foraging activity along elevational gradients (Sanders et al., 2007; Classen et al., 2015).”
Ecosystem services by birds and bees to coffee in a changing climate: A review of coffee berry borer control and pollination (2019, background): “…of locally adapted bee species and limit bee abundance and diversity by indirectly affecting the access of pollinators to food resources (e.g., Grünewald, 2010; Giannini et al., 2012, 2017; Classen et al., 2015; Kerr et al., 2015; Martins et al., 2015; Imbach et al., 2017; Ogilvie et al., 2017).”
