WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
Climate change is already reducing modeled bumblebee habitat suitability. A recent Nature Climate Change study attributes significant declines in European bumblebee habitat suitability to recent climatic change, adding another signal that pollinator decline cannot be treated only as a pesticide or land-use problem.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
A recent Nature Climate Change study attributes significant declines in European bumblebee habitat suitability to recent climatic change, adding another signal that pollinator decline cannot be treated only as a pesticide or land-use problem.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
Modeled habitat suitability is not a direct measure of population size. The results depend on the species records, climate data and modeling assumptions.
