Understanding and addressing shortfalls in European wild bee data
Marshall, Leon; Leclercq, Nicolas; Carvalheiro, Luisa; Dathe, Holger H.; Jacobi, Bernhard; Kuhlmann, Michael; Potts, Simon G.; Rasmont, PierreUnderstanding and reversing biodiversity decline in the Anthropocene requires robust data on species taxonomic identity, distribution, ecology, and population trends. Data deficits hinder biodiversity assessments and conservation, and despite major advances over the past few decades, our understanding of bee diversity, decline and distribution in Europe is still hampered by such data shortfalls. Using a unique ...
Base de datos de abejas ibéricas
Bartomeus, Ignasi; Lanuza, Jose B.; Wood, Thomas J.; Carvalheiro, Luisa; Molina, Francisco P.; Collado, Miguel Ángel; Aguado-Martín, Luis OscarLas abejas son un grupo extremadamente diverso con más de 1000 especies descritas en la península ibérica. Además, son excelentes polinizadores y aportan numerosos servicios ecosistémicos fundamentales para la mayoría de ecosistemas terrestres. Debido a los diversos cambios ambientales inducidos por el ser humano, existen evidencias del declive de algunas de sus poblaciones para ciertas especies. Sin embargo, c...
Drastic shifts in the Belgian bumblebee community over the last century
Rollin, Orianne; Vray, Sarah; Dendoncker, Nicolas; Michez, Denis; Dufrêne, Marc; Rasmont, PierreBumblebees are undergoing strong declines in Europe caused by habitat loss and fragmentation, agricultural intensification, and climate change. Long-term records are necessary to estimate population trends precisely and to propose appropriate mitigation strategies. Based on an original database of 173,788 specimens from museum collections, scientific monitoring, and opportunistic citizen data from 1810 to 2016,...
Ensuring access to high-quality resources reduces the impacts of heat stress on...
Vanderplanck, Maryse; Martinet, Baptiste; Carvalheiro, Luisa; Rasmont, Pierre; Barraud, Alexandre; Renaudeau, Coraline; Michez, DenisPollinators are experiencing declines globally, negatively affecting the reproduction of wild plants and crop production. Well-known drivers of these declines include climatic and nutritional stresses, such as a change of dietary resources due to the degradation of habitat quality. Understanding potential synergies between these two important drivers is needed to improve predictive models of the future effects ...
