Abundance; world
In many regions of Europe, for which data are present, the populations of Andrena gallica have declined sharply in the last ten years. Based on direct observation in the field (V. Radchenko pers. obs. 2013), and the lack of recent data from much of the rest of its range, it is suspected that there has been a decline in the region of 20-25% in the last ten years. Moreover in some European countries this species has completely disappeared, such as in Sweden and Hungary (Linkowski et al. 2004, Jozan 2011), thus reducing the extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO).
