Abstract:Bumblebees are keystone pollinators which facilitate the reproduction of a wide range of wild and agricultural plants. Their abundance and diversity have been severely reduced by anthropogenic stressors such as land-use change and widespread habitat fragmentation. However, we lack a comprehensive understanding of bumblebee population structure and local adaptation in response to human-altered landscapes. We here discover surprisingly fine-scaled population structure (e.g. ~300km) within two widely occurring bu… Show more
