  1. 1. Jämförelse av patogenprevalens hos vilda humlor på olika avstånd från honungsbisamhällen : och skillnader i patogenförekomst mellan olika arter av kommersiella pollinerare

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Julia Carlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Apis mellifera; Bombus terrestris; vilda pollinerare; patogenprevalens;

    Abstract : Idag minskar den inhemska populationen av pollinerare till följd av klimatförändringar och urbanisering. För att bibehålla den livsviktiga pollineringen används bland annat samhällen av honungsbin (Apis mellifera), vilket antas kunna påverka de vilda humlorna negativt genom exempelvis konkurrens om resurser och patogenspridning.
