Leveraging local species data, a global database, and an occupancy model to explore bee-plant interactions. [PDF]
Abstract Global declines in bee populations are threatening the ecosystem services they provide, including pollination. Many bee–plant interactions are understudied, producing an incomplete understanding of resulting ecosystem‐level vulnerabilities. The last decade has generated a wealth of opportunistic data originating from natural history collection
