Climate Change: Compressing the Bumblebee Home Range (7 of 18)

Caption

By looking at many species' complete geographical ranges for over a century, a new picture of climate change impacts is emerging. Rapid warming in the hottest areas is associated with collapse of bumblebee populations across continents. Pictured here is a buff-tailed bumblebee on a geranium in Denmark. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 10, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.T. Kerr at University of Ottawa in Ottawa, ON, Canada, and colleagues was titled, 'Climate change impacts on bumblebees converge across continents.'
