AI Summary

Belgian researchers analyzed how climate change has reshaped European habitats suitable for bumblebees, a key pollinator group whose numbers have fallen in recent decades. Using data on ecological suitability, they isolated the portion of habitat change directly attributable to climate warming, distinguishing it from other human‑driven pressures such as overexploitation, pollution and invasive species. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, quantifies climate change’s specific contribution to the decline of bumblebee‑friendly areas across Europe.
