North-westward range expansion of the bumblebeeBombus haematurusinto Central Europe is associated with warmer winters and niche conservatism

Abstract: Range expansions of naturally spreading species are crucial for understanding how species interact with the environment and build their niche. Here, we studied the bumblebee Bombus haematurus Kriechbaumer, 1870, a species historically distributed in the eastern Mediterranean area which has very recently started expanding northwards into Central Europe. After updating the global distribution of this species, we investigated if niche shifts took place during this range expansion between colonized and historical … Show more

“…Using a replicated survey of historical (1940s-1960s) and recent (2012) bumblebee assemblages in subalpine habitats in Norway, we identified a change of bumblebee communities that is consistent with an effect of both climate and land-use change (Fourcade et al 2019). This is in accordance with studies that have documented two distinctive patterns of the impact of climate change on bumblebees: poleward (Kerr et al 2015, Biella et al 2020, and altitudinal (Ploquin et al 2013, Pyke et al 2016, Biella et al 2017) range shifts. Especially, our comparison with historical data revealed a shift towards more thermophilic species and a decline of the regional species pool by ca.…”
