The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Integrating targeted surveys during community‐wide occupancy assessments improves detection rates for a pollinator species of concern

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Wildlife biologists often face trade‐offs between monitoring community diversity and detecting species of concern under limited resources. We evaluated whether combining targeted visual surveys with standard pollinator community surveys improves detection of western bumble bees while maintaining community‐level data.
