Habitat fragmentation and destruction are driving widespread declines in ecosystem function, species abundance, and genetic diversity across the globe. Among the affected taxa are bumble bees (genus Bombus ), which are essential pollinators. Bumble bee declines have been linked to anthropogenic pressures such as land-use change and climate change. To better understand how the environment is shaping bumble bee populations, we e...

Aim Adult body size often exhibits patterns across large‐scale environmental gradients, creating ecogeographic clines. However, the form of body size clines varies across taxonomic groups, with linear and non‐linear patterns in body size observed in nature. Non‐linear body size clines have received less study, and questions remain about how environmental gradients interact to produce non‐linear clines. We examined the body siz...
