of animals. Shifts in animal body size have been observed in response to climate change …

Human‐mediated species introductions provide real‐time experiments in how communities
respond to interspecific competition. For example, managed honey bees Apis mellifera (L.) …

Pollinator communities are more abundant and diverse in agricultural matrices with more
natural habitat, although the reasons for these correlations remain unclear. It is possible that …

Floral resources are important in limiting pollinator populations, but they are often highly
variable across time and space and the effect of this variation on pollinator population …

Populations of bumblebees and other pollinators have declined over the past several
decades due to numerous threats, including habitat loss and degradation. However, we can …

Bumble bees are important crop pollinators but are negatively impacted by agricultural
intensification and concomitant loss of floral resources. Flower strips can increase the …
