Nesting behaviour drives the evolution of heat tolerance and climate vulnerability in bees

Species vulnerability to climate change depends on their capacity to evolve in response to increasing heat as climates change1. But, weak signatures of adaptation in heat tolerance across environments...

Excited to see our ms published with @jexpbiol.bsky.social! We show that temperature and precipitation explain metabolic rate in Fijian bees across an elevational gradient. #metabolicrate #bee #adaptation

Temperature and precipitation explain variation in metabolic rate but not frequency of gas exchange in Fijian bees

Summary: Temperature and precipitation explain variation in Fijian bee metabolic rate, partially supporting the metabolic cold adaptation hypothesis. Aridity does not explain variation in frequency of...

Butterflies in the USA are shifting their ranges in all directions, except towards regions where climate is warming the fastest. They rate that they shift their ranges is correlated with the rate temperature is warming. 🦋 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Gene Flow Between Populations With Highly Divergent Mitogenomes in the Australian Stingless Bee, Tetragonula hockingsi

We investigate genetic divergence and gene flow between populations of a stingless bee (Tetragonula hockingsi) that have highly divergent mitogenomes. We identify at least two zones of gene flow betw...
