To support an analysis that human actions are related to bumblebee decline, look for evidence in the text that illustrates the impact of activities like:
-
Pesticide Use: References to the use of certain pesticides harmful to bumblebees can highlight how agricultural practices contribute to their decline.
-
Habitat Loss: Descriptions of urban development, agricultural expansion, or deforestation that lead to habitat destruction for bumblebees.
-
Climate Change: Information about how human-induced climate change alters ecosystems, affecting the plants that bumblebees rely on for food.
-
Pollution: Evidence of environmental pollutants that can harm bumblebee health and behavior.
-
Invasive Species: Discussion on how human activities introduce invasive species that compete with or prey on bumblebees.
Finding specific statistics, case studies, or expert opinions in the text can further strengthen this analysis. Would you like to provide excerpts or a specific text for us to analyze together?
