Experimental warming in the field delays phenology and reduces body mass, fat content and survival: Implications for the persistence of a pollinator under climate change (2018, background): “It has been difficult to study the effects of climate warming on insect pollinators because relatively few long- term datasets exist that allow researchers to link pollinator ecology to changes in climate (Bartomeus et al., 2011; Burkle et al., 2013; Kudo & Ida, 2013; Ogilvie et al., 2017).”
Insect Declines in the Anthropocene. (2020, result): “Similarly mixed results were found in temperate areas: Across an area of intensive land use in Illinois, bee richness dropped by 50% over a 120-year period (19), whereas data from an undisturbed montane community collected over the past two decades showed no evidence of bee decline (76).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…spectrum of interactions 255 spanning generalist to specialist interactions is important in determining how some plant-256 pollinator relationships remain relatively stable under environmental change, whilst others 257 may not (Burkle and Alarcon, 2011; Burkle et al., 2013; Dalsgaard et al., 2013).”
Safeguarding pollinators and their values to human well-being (2016, neutral): “Comprehensibly linking observed long-term pollinator declines 29,30,32 with specific or multiple drivers is not often possible owing to the lack of data on the status of pollinators (but see refs 44,45).”
Pollinator Diversity: Distribution, Ecological Function, and Conservation (2017, background): “In North America, almost 60 species are Red Listed by the Xerces Society as Vulnerable, Imperiled or Critically Imperiled, and there is particular concern about the iconic monarch butterfly.”
Plant–pollinator interactions and phenological change: what can we learn about climate impacts from experiments and observations? (2015, background): “Th e authors did attribute the loss of certain specifi c interactions to lack of temporal co-occurrence, but some of these losses may have been due to reduced population sizes rather than independently shifting phenologies (Burkle et al. 2013).”
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).”
Biotic and Abiotic Factors Associated with Colonies Mortalities of Managed Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) (2019, background): “Restoring and preserving the natural habitats of pollinators today can ensure the diversity of our table tomorrow [115].”
Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “The decline in the wild bee populations over the past 120 years has been established using historic datasets (Burkle et al. 2013), and in Europe, 37–65 % of bee species are of conservation concern (Patiny et al. 2009).”
Attractiveness of wildflower mixtures for wild bees and hoverflies depends on some key plant species (2018, background): “Providing flower resources over the whole season is necessary as potential gaps might prevent pollinators from completing their life cycles (Memmott et al., 2010; Burkle et al., 2013).”
