Climate Change: Compressing the Bumblebee Home Range (5 of 18)

image: By analyzing 110 years of biological observations across North America and Europe, a new picture of climate change impacts emerges. As temperatures warm, bumblebee species are declining rapidly from warm areas but failing to colonize new areas in the north. This picture shows a red-tailed bumblebee from 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.' view more
