  1. 1. An attempt to promote ground-nesting bees in an urban landscape. Investigating the use of sand beds as a conservation effort.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Bodil Mattson; [2024-02-16]
    Keywords : ground-nesting bees - pollinator conservation - sand beds – conservation in urban parks;

    Abstract : Pollinators provide crucial services for the ecosystems by pollinating around 80-90% of all plants. However, pollinating insects are declining worldwide which may cause a parallel decline in plant species leading to large biodiversity losses. READ MORE

  3. 2. Adapted data collection in field utilizing RMR and the Q-system
