Climate change effects on multi-taxa pollinator diversity and distribution along the elevation gradient of Mount Olympus, Greece

Climate change is predicted to dramatically affect mountain biodiversity and especially mountain pollination systems due to the mutual dependence between plants and pollinators. In this work, we investigate climate change effects on pollinator distribution and diversity along the altitudinal gradien...
