Climate Change: Compressing the Bumblebee Home Range (1 of 18)

Caption

A red-belted bumblebee visiting a lupine. This bee is covered in pollen, demonstrating the incredibly effective pollination service that such species perform. Yet, bumblebee species are responding very badly to climate changes across continents, and many species have simply retreated from hot areas entirely. 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.'
