Morphological and Ecological Traits Explain Variation in Desiccation Tolerance Among Bees
ABSTRACT Rising temperatures associated with global warming are often accompanied by shifts in precipitation patterns, increasing the risk of desiccation for insects. However, our understanding of how functional traits shape desiccation tolerance remains limited, particularly among pollinators. We assessed the desiccat...
