Revealing the hidden niches of cryptic bumblebees in Great Britain: Implications for conservation

2015-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Bumblebees are ecologically and economically important, and some species have suffered dramatic population declines. The absence of morphological diagnostic characters for the identification of some species creates difficulties for basic ecological studies, and for conservation management. The widespread and commercially exploited bumblebee subgenus Bombus sensu stricto contains a cryptic species complex, known as...
