Abstract excerpt
Bumblebees are important pollinating insects, so their declines resulting from environmental change have received intensive attention. Understanding how environmental factors shape the genetic structure of natural populations and identifying the genetic basis of local adaptation will provide insights into how bumblebees cope with environmental change. The buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) has a wide...
