Plant-pollinator systems across varied regions exhibit differing vulnerability patterns to rising temperatures.

Caption

The image, taken in a field in West Bengal, India, shows a pollinator-plant interaction likely occurring between a Hoverfly and Bluemink (Ageratum houstonianum) or a similar-looking species. The research examines how rising temperatures could alter growth rates, mortality, competition, and the strength of mutual relationships between plant-pollinator species over the next 75 years.
