Positive responses of flower visiting bees to landscape heterogeneity depend on functional connectivity levels

Positive responses of flower visiting bees to landscape heterogeneity depend on functional connectivity levels

Landscape changes can lead to bee species loss, what impairs proper landscape level pollination processes, impacting both nature conservation and human welfare. Although landscape heterogeneity can rescue bee communities from collapsing, these insects seem sensitive to reduced functional connectivit...
