Effect of urbanization and its environmental stressors on the intraspecific variation of flight functional traits in two bumblebee species - Oecologia
The way urbanization shapes the intraspecific variation of pollinator functional traits is little understood. However, this topic is relevant for investigating ecosystem services and pollinator health. Here, we studied how urbanization affects the functional traits of workers in two bumblebee species (Bombus terrestris and B. pascuorum) sampled in 37 sites along a gradient of urbanization in North Italy (an area of 1800 km2 including the metropolitan context of Milan and other surrounding capital districts). Namely, we investigated the effect of land use composition, configuration, air temperature, flower resource abundance, and air pollutants on the variation of traits related to flight performance and of stress during insect development (i.e., wing size, wing shape and size fluctuating asymmetry). The functional traits of the two bumblebees responded idiosyncratically to urbanization. Urban temperatures were associated with smaller wing sizes in B. pascuorum and with more accentuated fluctuating asymmetry of wing size in B. terrestris. Moreover, flower abundance correlated with bigger wings in B. terrestris and with less asymmetric wing size in B. pascuorum. Other traits did not vary significantly, and other urban variables played minor effects. These species-specific variation patterns highlight that environmental stressor linked to urbanization negatively impact the traits related to flight performance and development stability of these syntopic bumblebees, with possible consequences on the pollination service they provide.

Nerdland – CanopyChange
Op Nerdland festival voerden we een experiment uit tezamen met meer dan 400 festivalbezoekers! We stelden onszelf de vraag of zomereiken een verschillend aantal huidmondjes op hun bladeren hebben afhankelijk van het microklimaat dat ze ervaren. Een zomereik die op een parking staat, ervaart andere temperaturen dan een zomereik die in een bosje op een eiland staat. Zomereiken die op de parking van het provinciaal domein Puyenbroeck staan zullen in de zomermaanden warmere temperaturen ervaren omdat ze in volle zon staan omgeven door asfalt. Zomereiken in een bosje op een eiland van het provinciaal domein zijn daarentegen omringd door andere bomen, staan in de schaduw en zijn omgeven door water. Wanneer bomen droogtestress ervaren sluiten ze hun huidmondjes, de poriën in het blad waarmee ze CO2 opnemen, maar ook waterdamp verliezen. Zo houden ze meer water vast en kunnen ze vermijden dat blaadjes verwelken. De hypothese luidde daarom dat zomereiken op de parking sneller hitte- en droogtestress ervaren vergeleken met zomereiken op het festivaleiland en bijgevolg verwachten we dat bomen op de parking meer huidmondjes hebben om hun waterverlies efficiënter te regelen.
