Pan-European Study of Pollinator Stressors in Farmland Ecosystems

This pan-European study investigates multiple stressors affecting pollinators across 128 sites in eight countries. It assesses pesticides, pathogens, habitat loss, and nutritional resources using standardized methods and sentinel bee species—Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris, and Osmia bicornis—across diverse biogeographic zones. The research integrates field, lab, and modeling approaches to evaluate impacts at multiple biological levels, emphasizing coordinated design, stakeholder engagement, and methodological consistency. Findings highlight synergistic stressor effects and the importance of landscape-scale monitoring for effective pollinator conservation.
