Mapping Microclimates Could Transform Pollinator Conservation

Mapping Microclimates Could Transform Pollinator Conservation

Climate can vary across large areas of land, but it also can vary within much smaller areas such as farms. A new study by Sisk and colleagues examined whether these microclimates — the climate of a very small or restricted area — affect pollination by both wild and managed bees and resulting wild blueberry yields. Back in 2019 we blogged on the increasing interest in Thermal Ecology. This research dovetails with other recent research into effect…
