Quantifying the relative predation pressure on bumblebee nests by the European badger (Meles meles) using artificial nests
Abstract Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down regulation). The impact of predation has not...
