Abstract Grassland ecosystems are imperiled by agricultural activity world‐wide. Restoring grassland habitat is important to conserving fauna and preserving ecosystem services, but more knowledge needed on the impact that local landscape factors have patterns of diversity. We focused whether prairie restorations along a gradient increasing cover in surrounding would be inhabited less diverse and/or homogenous native bee communities. Native bees specific target for many restoration efforts, supporting their β ‐diversity reconstructed habitats mounting interest. also investigated if higher floral resource richness within could help ameliorate negative effects landscapes. sampled 16 Minnesota (USA) varied land around site. characterized at all sites beginning mid‐May ending mid‐September. used GLMMs multivariate analyses disentangle how percentage production associated with Local diversity increased richness, independent landscape. Bee was not impacted or landscape, indicating substantially impacting homogeneity communities across restorations. Synthesis applications . found that, regardless florally rich plantings attract recommend prioritize scale diversity, potential where dominated should overlooked restoration.

Climate change has a worldwide impact on biodiversity and ecosystem functions, in particular by causing shifts species distributions changes communities. Here, we analyse altitudinal range of 30,604 lowland butterfly burnet moth records from 119 over the past seven decades across federal state Salzburg (northern Austria) spanning an gradient >2500 m. For each species, compiled species-specific traits their ecology, behaviour, life-cycle. During study period, butterflies have shifted average occurrence also lower upper limits >300 m uphill. This shift is particularly obvious for last ten years. Habitat generalist mobile exhibited strongest habitat specialist sedentary weakest shifts. Our results underline that effects climate strong currently increasing patterns distribution local community composition. Hence, confirm observation ubiquistic, with broad ecological amplitude can cope better environmental than species. Furthermore, land use areas might additionally enhanced this up-hill shift.
