Long‐term effects of global change on occupancy and flight period of wild bees in Belgium

Abstract: Global change affects species by modifying their abundance, spatial distribution, and activity period. The challenge is now to identify the respective drivers of those responses and to understand how those responses combine to affect species assemblages and ecosystem functioning. Here we correlate changes in occupancy and mean flight date of 205 wild bee species in Belgium with temporal changes in temperature trend and interannual variation, agricultural intensification, and urbanization. Over the last 70 year… Show more

“…There is circumstantial evidence that agricultural practices are important drivers of recently documented large‐scale insect declines (Hallmann et al, 2017; Seibold et al, 2019). Pollinating insects, specifically bees, may be particularly impacted, with consequences for both natural and agricultural systems, including a reduction in pollination services of crop and non‐crop plants (Burkle et al, 2013; Duchenne et al, 2020; Steffan‐Dewenter et al, 2005; Tylianakis, 2013).…”

“…Bumble bees (Apidae: Bombus ) are a well‐studied bee taxon that includes many species documented to be declining across Europe and North/South America (Bartomeus et al, 2013; Biesmeijer, 2006; Bommarco et al, 2012; Cameron et al, 2011; Colla & Packer, 2008; Dupont et al, 2011; Grixti et al, 2009; Morales et al, 2013; Wood et al, 2019). Of several putative drivers of bumble bee decline, including climate change (Fourcade et al, 2019; Kerr et al, 2015; Soroye et al, 2020) and pathogens (Cameron et al, 2011; Szabo et al, 2012), several studies also point to agricultural intensification as a key driver of bumble bee population decline (Grixti et al, 2009, Goulson et al, 2015; Vray et al 2019; Duchenne et al, 2020). Intensification includes both attributes within a local farming system (i.e.…”

“…Notably, declines were less pronounced in protected areas, suggesting that urbanization and agricultural development, associated with habitat loss and pollution, may be part of the problem. Indeed, an October study found that pronounced losses in Belgium's wild bees are correlated with agricultural development (16). Presenceabsence data for 205 species between 1950 and 2016 revealed a 33% decrease in wild bee occupancy throughout the country.…”

“…In many parts of the world, insect populations have declined [7]. These losses are attributed to multiple factors including habitat destruction, insecticide exposure, the loss of quality nutritional resources, climate change, parasites, and pathogens [8,9,10,11]. In particular, many bee populations have suffered range reductions and local extinction, including the rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) and the western bumble bee (Bombus occidentalis) in the US [12,13,14].…”
