Aim To test whether spatial trait–temperature relationships predicted by ecogeographic rules (Bergmann's rule and the thermal melanism hypothesis) can be used as space-for-time substitutions to anti...

Pollinators, both wild and managed, form diverse associations with plants and microbes which affect the wellbeing of the plants and the pollinators. The method by which these associations are sampled…

Urbanisation can negatively affect cavity-nesting bees and wasps, yet common conservation interventions such as flower patches and artificial nests lack strong empirical support. In a 2-year experime...

Researcher Emilie E. Ellis surveying an experimental flower patch at an urban allotment in Leeds, UK. Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinators by planting flower patches is an increasingly common ...

Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. O....

As Finland’s climate warms, cold-adapted moths are disappearing in the north while warm-loving species move in from the south. This shift in insect communities highlights the threat climate change pos...

Insect pollinators are essential for terrestrial ecosystems, delivering key ecosystem functions in the face of anthropogenic disturbance. Urbanization may be a key threat to pollinator communities. Ho...
