Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers (2015, background): “bombi via commercial bumblebees has been implicated in the marked decline of several bumblebee species, although convincing causal evidence remains elusive (51, 52).”

Habitat restoration benefits wild bees: A meta‐analysis (2018, background): “For bee species with documented losses and in geographic regions with historic bee community data available, habitat loss is a frequently cited factor in bee declines (Cameron et al., 2011; Grixti, Wong, Cameron, & Favret, 2009; Winfree, Aguilar, Vasquez, LeBuhn, & Aizen, 2009).”

The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “In Britain (and elsewhere in north-west Europe), moderate levels of climate warming may bring opportunities for thermally constrained species such as insects and there is strong evidence, for example, that some butterflies have already expanded their ranges and flight periods in response to climate ”
Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, background): “A growing body of evidence indicates that bees and other pollinators are declining globally (Bartomeus et al., 2013; Biesmeijer et al., 2006; Burkle et al., 2013; Cameron et al., 2011; Koh et al., 2016).”
Pesticide Residues and Bees – A Risk Assessment (2014, background): “Attempts to explain the CCD have focussed on two main fronts: i) biological diseases, which includes virus [11] Nosema infections [12], parasites such as mites [13,14] and hive beetles [15]; and ii) pesticides, including not only insecticides and acaricides but also fungicides and herbicides [16,17]”
Pollen nutrients better explain bumblebee colony development than pollen diversity (2017, background): “Unfortunately, bumblebees are drastically declining in Europe (Carvalheiro et al., 2013; Nieto et al., 2014), North America (Cameron et al., 2011) and Asia (Williams & Osborne, 2009), which compromises the provided ecosystem services.”
Rapid ecological replacement of a native bumble bee by invasive species. (2013, background): “In the absence of large-scale and long-term studies (Cameron et al. 2011), robust estimates of the invasions’ temporal origin and spatial extent, as well as its impact on different components of the native fauna, are difficult to obtain.”

Herbivore and pollinator responses to grassland management intensity along experimental changes in plant species richness (2012, background): “, 2011) but are declining due to a variety of reasons (Biesmeijer et al., 2006; Potts et al., 2010; Williams et al., 2010; Cameron et al., 2011).”
