Question

are you agree/disagree with this statement? explain your answer

Bees are losing places where they can survive. As global temperatures rise, North American and European honeybee ranges are getting smaller. In their southernmost habitats, bees are dying from high heat and have lost 200 miles of their livable range. But bees at the northern end of their range are not expanding into cooler territories. Instead, the northern border of their range is remaining mostly static. So their range is shrinking. According to recent research, bees likely won't be able to adapt to a changing climate by shifting their habitat range. While other species, like butterflies, are able to easily migrate their populations, bees don't adapt to fast-paced change quite as easily, meaning they are especially in danger from the unexpected effects of climate change. Unless we can stabilize or reverse climate change bees may one day run out of habitat altogether.

Answer 1

Answer: Agree with the given statement
Explanation:
An organism's phenotype is the collective outcome of the interaction between its genotype and the environment.
i.e. the environment can influence the behavior of an organism as well.

In the given case, it is stated that climate change is affecting the pollination behavior of bees.
Entomophily = Pollination by insects

Majority of the angiosperms dependent on insects for pollination. They provide floral rewards to attract insects. Some species even developed an obligate relationship with the pollinator
Ex: Yucca cannot complete its life cycle in the absence of its pollinating agent, Pronuba yuccacella (The insect lays its eggs in the locules of the ovary)

The climate change negatively affecting the physiology and behavior of many organisms including insects.
If bees are not performing pollination at the correct season, it negatively affects the fitness of the plant
