Abstract
(Current Biology 31, 451–458.e1–e4; February 8, 2021) Since publication, errors have been identified in Table S2. Some of the synonym linkages were mismatched during the export of the table post-analysis. That segment of the file was identified by collaborators as problematic during the preparation of a separate publication. The file has now been re-exported and checked for analysis by A.C.H. and M.C.O. and used to replace the faulty part of the original supplement. The analyses and conclusions of the paper are not impacted by these errors because it was an issue with the export process used to make the file. We apologize for this error. Global Patterns and Drivers of Bee DistributionOrr et al.Current BiologyNovember 19, 2020In BriefA modern, quantitative synthesis on bee distribution and its drivers at a global scale. Orr et al. show that bees exhibit a rare bimodal pattern of higher species richness at mid-latitudes, based on their great success in xeric and some temperate areas, further supported by a driver analysis. Bee species richness is also reprojected worldwide. Full-Text PDF Open Access
