Mapping Bumblebee Community Assemblages and Their Associated Drivers in Yunnan, China.

ABSTRACT: Bumblebees are among the most important wild pollinators; however, their populations are declining worldwide due to factors such as climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use. For their conservation, it is important to understand the community structure at the local scale and the drivers responsible for their assemblages. However, little is known about bumblebee community assemblages and their drivers in Yunnan Province, China. In this study, we mapped bumblebee community assemblages across 125 counties in Yunnan Province using field-collected and published data. We also quantified the climatic and land use/land cover (LULC) drivers shaping these assemblages. The climatic habitat suitability for 21 bumblebee species was assessed at the county level across Yunnan using species distribu
