Abstract:Bumble bees are integral pollinators of native and cultivated plant communities, but species are undergoing significant changes in range and abundance on a global scale. Climate change and land cover alteration are key drivers in pollinator declines; however, limited research has evaluated the cumulative effects of these factors on bumble bee assemblages. This study tests bumble bee responses to climate and land use by modeling 1) occupancy (presence/absence); 2) species richness; 3) species-specific habitat r… Show more
