Except one major contributor isn't as abundant as it once was—wild bees. Local farmers have attributed the decline in bees, both wild and managed, to climate change and parasites. Nationwide ...
A 2013 study estimated that 608–851 bird species (6–9%) are highly vulnerable to climate change while being on the IUCN Red List of threatened species, and 1,715–4,039 (17–41%) bird species are not currently threatened but could become threatened due to climate change in the future. [58]
Nonetheless, an estimated 87.5% of the world's flowering plant species are animal-pollinated, [36] and 60% of crop plant species [37] use animal pollinators. This includes the majority of fruits, many vegetables, and also fodder. [38] According to the USDA 80% of insect crop pollination in the US is due to honey bees. [39]
Climate change has raised the temperature of the Earth by about 1.1 °C (2.0 °F) since the Industrial Revolution.As the extent of future greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation actions determines the climate change scenario taken, warming may increase from present levels by less than 0.4 °C (0.72 °F) with rapid and comprehensive mitigation (the 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) Paris Agreement goal) to ...
We need to recognize that it is not too late to make some changes that can help all of us, including the bees. Commentary: Declining health of bees in Durham are a warning sign of climate change ...
A 2020 long-term study of more than 60 bee species published in the journal Science found that climate change causes drastic declines in the population and diversity of bumblebees across the two continents studied, independent of land use change and at rates "consistent with a mass extinction."
The study delved into the impacts of climate change on honey bee colony dynamics, particularly focusing on the Pacific Northwest. Warmer autumns, winters pose threat to PNW honey bee survival, WSU ...
Endangered species facing the threat of extinction due to climate change. Including threats from the effects of global warming.
