An Evaluation of Habitat Uses and Their Implications for the Conservation of the Chinese Bumblebee Bombus pyrosoma (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Bumblebees are important pollinators for many wild plants and crops. However, the bumblebee populations seriously declining in parts of world. Hence, conservation strategy should be urgently addressed, species distribution modeling approach can effectively evaluate potentially suitable areas their conservation. Here, one most abundant endemic China, Bombus pyrosoma , was selected to assess current future climates’ influence on its with MaxEnt. Nine high-resolution bioclimatic/environmental variables high contribution rates low correlations were used. Four nine variables, min temperature coldest month (bio_06), annual mean (bio_01), precipitation wettest (bio_13) radiation warmest quarter (bio_26), found critical factors influencing B. . The results showed that moderate suitability covered 141,858 186,198 km 2 under climate conditions. More than 85% sampling sites 2019 scenario. Under A1B A2 scenarios 2050 2100, increased. alarmingly, decreased 2100. Furthermore, regions covering seven provinces northern China crucial developing nature reserves following order areas: Gansu, Shanxi, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Hebei Beijing. Our study highlights impact changes strategies mitigate threats posed by environmental changes, particularly areas.
