Abstract

Habitat loss is a primary driver of global biodiversity decline, negatively impacting many species, including native bees. One approach to counteract the consequences of habitat loss is through restoration, which includes the transformation of degraded or damaged habitats to increase biodiversity. In this review, we survey bee habitat restoration literature over the last 14 years to provide insights into how best to promote bee diversity and abundance through the restoration of natural landscapes in North America. We highlight relevant questions and concepts to consider throughout the various stages of habitat restoration projects, categorizing them into pre-, during-, and post-restoration stages. We emphasize the importance of planning species- and site-specific strategies to support bees, including providing floral and non-floral resources and increasing nest site availability. Lastly, we underscore the significance of conducting evaluations and long-term monitoring following restoration efforts. By identifying effective restoration methods, success indicators, and areas for future research, our review presents a comprehensive framework that can guide land managers during this urgent time for bee habitat restoration.

本土蜜蜂栖息地的恢复：近期北美文献中的主要生态考虑因素

栖息地丧失是全球生物多样性减少的主要驱动因素，对包括本地蜜蜂在内的许多物种造成负面影响。应对栖息地丧失后果的方法之一是恢复，包括改造退化或受损的栖息地，以增加生物多样性。在这篇综述中，我们调查了过去 14 年中有关蜜蜂栖息地恢复的文献，以深入了解如何通过恢复北美的自然景观来促进蜜蜂的多样性和数量。我们强调了在生境恢复项目的各个阶段需要考虑的相关问题和概念，将其分为恢复前、恢复中和恢复后三个阶段。我们强调规划针对特定物种和地点的策略以支持蜜蜂的重要性，包括提供花卉和非花卉资源以及增加巢穴可用性。最后，我们强调了在恢复工作之后进行评估和长期监测的重要性。通过确定有效的恢复方法、成功指标和未来研究领域，我们的综述提出了一个全面的框架，可在蜜蜂栖息地恢复的紧迫时期为土地管理者提供指导。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research across fundamental and applied sciences, to provide ecological and evolutionary insights into our natural and anthropogenic world, and how it should best be managed. Field Chief Editor Mark A. Elgar at the University of Melbourne is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide. Eminent biologist and theist Theodosius Dobzhansky’s astute observation that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution” has arguably even broader relevance now than when it was first penned in The American Biology Teacher in 1973. One could similarly argue that not much in evolution makes sense without recourse to ecological concepts: understanding diversity — from microbial adaptations to species assemblages — requires insights from both ecological and evolutionary disciplines. Nowadays, technological developments from other fields allow us to address unprecedented ecological and evolutionary questions of astonishing detail, impressive breadth and compelling inference. The specialty sections of Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution will publish, under a single platform, contemporary, rigorous research, reviews, opinions, and commentaries that cover the spectrum of ecological and evolutionary inquiry, both fundamental and applied. Articles are peer-reviewed according to the Frontiers review guidelines, which evaluate manuscripts on objective editorial criteria. Through this unique, Frontiers platform for open-access publishing and research networking, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution aims to provide colleagues and the broader community with ecological and evolutionary insights into our natural and anthropogenic world, and how it might best be managed.
