Geography, climate, ecology: What is more important in determining bee diversity in the Aegean Archipelago?

Aim Understanding which factors drive α‐ and β‐diversity is fundamental to ecological and biogeographical research. Especially in archipelagos, diversity patterns are interesting due to the numerous factors influencing them. Here, we investigate the importance of climate and ecogeographical factors in shaping α‐ and β‐diversity patterns of bee species in the Aegean Archipelago, a bee diversity hotspot. Location Nineteen islands in the Aegean...
