Genomic variation in montane bumblebees in Scandinavia: High levels of intraspecific diversity despite population vulnerability.

Abstract excerpt

Populations of many bumblebee species are declining, with distributions shifting northwards to track suitable climates. Climate change is considered a major contributing factor. Arctic species are particularly vulnerable as they cannot shift further north, making assessment of their population viability important. Analysis of levels of whole-genome variation is a powerful way to analyse population declines and...
