The paper investigates the impact of human activity versus climate change on bee population expansion in Fiji, finding that human occupation, not climate, drove population growth in lowland species.

This study shows that nesting behavior influences heat tolerance evolution in bees, affecting their vulnerability to climate change.

The paper uses environmental DNA to study invertebrate communities in arid-land rock-holes, finding seasonal and spatial variability in species richness and composition.

This study shows that physiological traits like heat tolerance and desiccation resistance constrain bee species richness in Fijian elevational gradients, with species tracking climatic niches to higher elevations as climates warm.

The paper presents a cleaned and flagged global bee occurrence dataset and an R package to improve data accessibility and reliability for conservation and research.
