Climate explains global functional trait variation in bees
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate is a fundamental driver of macroecological patterns in functional trait variation. However, many of the traits that have outsized effects on thermal performance are complex, multi‐dimensional, and challenging to quantify at scale.

Our multifaceted approach revealed that the mosaics of habitats surrounding urban flower meadows are at least as necessary to support bees as the local features of UFMs. An abundance of bees responded positively to the number of flowering units, the blue and yellow colors of flowers, and increased cover of industrial areas, green urban areas, and ...
