Source‐sink dynamics of bumblebees in rapidly changing landscapes

Abstract

Bumblebees inhabit spatially heterogeneous landscapes that are likely characterized by population sources and sinks. To date, most studies of bumblebee habitat requirements have examined static relationships between worker abundance and habitat characteristics. However, if habitat types are linked by dispersal, source‐sink dynamics could alter overall population sensitivity to habitat loss, changing conclusions from static approaches.
