Abstract excerpt
Anthropogenic activity has driven a rapid decline in wild pollinator populations over the last several decades. Understanding the genomic consequences of these declines and their long-term effects requires establishing historical baselines for population diversity. To investigate this, we conducted temporal genomic analyses of a widespread and important pollinator, the common carder bee (Bombus pascuorum). We...
