Heat domes increase vulnerability of native stingless bees by simultaneously weakening key survival traits

Heatwave events increase in frequency and duration, yet there is a strong gap in assessing their nonlethal effects on tropical insects, including beneficial social species. The stingless bees are a highly diverse group of pantropical pollinators that provide key ecosystem services. Here, we simultan...
