The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people (2016, background): “Advances in the timing of budding, flowering, and fruiting of plant species has induced earlier harvesting periods in some countries [such as Japan (156)].”
Pollinator monitoring more than pays for itself (2020, background): “However, the trade-off is that non-crop pollinators, which make up the bulk of pollinator biodiversity (Kleijn et al., 2015) are underrepresented in the data, making it unsuitable for biodiver-sity-oriented objectives (e.g. CBD, 2016; DEFRA, 2015; Protect Pollinators, 2019).”
Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being (2017, neutral): “Shifts to higher elevations have been restricted to southern species ( 119 )”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “In Europe, bumble bees are in decline (Goulson, Lye, and Darvill 2008; Rasmont et al. 2005; Williams 1982) and in North America pollinator communities are shifting (Bushmann and Drummond 2015; Kerr et al. 2015).”
Model‐based inference for estimating shifts in species distribution, area occupied and centre of gravity (2016, background): “Climate change and variability have already impacted the spatial distribution of many different taxa including butterflies (Parmesan et al. 1999), plants (Kelly & Goulden 2008), bees (Kerr et al. 2015), birds (Hitch & Leberg 2007) and marine fishes (Pinsky et al. 2013).”
Joint dynamic species distribution models: a tool for community ordination and spatio‐temporal monitoring (2016, background): “Recent research suggests that bees (Kerr et al ., 2015), butterflies (Parmesan et al ., 1999)”
Safeguarding pollinators and their values to human well-being (2016, neutral): “Northern hemisphere bumblebees, for example, are losing suitable habitat at their southern range limits but are not expanding consistently at their northern range limits 34 .”
Network resilience (2020, neutral): “or overuse of pesticides [250, 251, 252].”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…inputs to the environment (i.e. agrochemicals), 341 invasive species and the added pressures of predation and competition (Godfray et al., 2014; 342 Gonzalez-Varo et al., 2013; Goulson et al., 2015; Kerr et al., 2015; Morales et al., 2013; Potts 343 et al., 2010a; Vanbergen et al., 2013, 2014a).”
Landscape impacts on pollinator communities in temperate systems: evidence and knowledge gaps (2017, neutral): “There is also increasing evidence that an interaction between future climate change and landscape and habitat conﬁguration could pose challenges to pollinators (Kerr et al. 2015).”
Semi‐natural habitats mitigate the effects of temperature rise on wild bees (2017, background): “…in studies assessing the effect of climate change on wild bees with use of long-term data (Biesmeijer et al. 2006; Bartomeus et al. 2013) and can be inferred from range contractions of bumblebees in Europe and North America especially at their warm (southern) range margins (Kerr et al. 2015).”
Terrestrial insects and climate change: adaptive responses in key traits (2019, background): “…studies relating distributional shifts to environmental change, and many species are keeping pace with warming, as indicated by altitudinal and latitudinal shifts (Thomas et al., 2001; Konvicka et al., 2003; Parmesan & Yohe, 2003; Chen et al., 2011; Kerr et al., 2015; Lenoir & Svenning, 2015).”
Wild bee abundance declines with urban warming, regardless of floral density (2018, background): “The geographic ranges of northernhemisphere bumble bees have contracted northward with climate change, suggesting that these bees are particularly intolerant of warming (Kerr et al. 2015).”
Pollen nutrients better explain bumblebee colony development than pollen diversity (2017, background): “A variety of specific or global threats have been described such as habitat destruction, decrease of both floral resources quantity and diversity, pesticides, diseases and climate change (Inouye, 2007; Williams et al., 2008; Goulson et al., 2015; Kerr et al., 2015).”
