Effects of heat shocks, heat waves, and sustained warming on solitary bees
Frontiers in Bee ScienceAlong with higher average temperatures, global climate change is expected to lead to more frequent and intense extreme heat events, and these different types of warming are likely to differ in their effects on bees. Although solitary bees comprise >75%

Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 1989 A reasonable notion of quasisimilarity is defined for families of subspaces. Nests (complete chains of subspaces) are classified up to quasisimilarity. For example, a nest on a separable space is quasisimilar to a (or any) continuous nest if and only if every initial segment is uncountable.
