Summary

Project Overview Many insect pollinator species in the southeastern US and the US Caribbean, including bees and butterflies, face increasing threats from climate change, but few have been assessed for their vulnerability to these threats. This leaves wildlife managers without crucial information for conservation planning. Researchers supported by this Southeast CASC project will work with partners to identify and evaluate the climate change vulnerabilities of at-risk pollinator species, and resulting species assessments will be provided to wildlife managers to use for conservation decision making. Project Summary Many insect pollinators, including bee and butterfly species, play a vital role in ecosystems but face increasing threats [...]
