  1. 1. INDIVIDUAL TRAIT MATCHING OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS) AND FLOWERS ALONG AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Johan Per Michael Svedin; [2022]
    Keywords : Arctic climate change; Bombus; Flower morphology; Plant-pollinator trait-matching;

    Abstract : Insect pollinators serve a critical role in maintaining plant biodiversity and are especially susceptible to changes within their environment. To study the possible effects of seasonal variation in temperature, as well as climatic temperature increase on the plant-pollinator community, the relationship between bumblebee and flowering plant traits along an elevational gradient, representing warming-induced changes in plant community, were examined.

  3. 2. Scent traps and trap crops for broad bean weevil (Bruchus rufimanus) control

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Ylva Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : faba bean; Vicia faba minor; semiochemicals; kairomones;

    Abstract : Bönsmyg (Bruchus rufimanus) är en skadeinsekt vars larv orsakar skada i åkerböna (Vicia faba minor L), vilket reducerar bönornas kvalitet och kommersiella värde. Detta projekts syfte var att testa och utvärdera doftfällor i kombination med fångstgrödor som en biologisk kontroll mot bönsmyg. READ MORE

  5. 4. Flower preferences among weed-visiting insects in field edges

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Isolde Galin; [2021]
    Keywords : arable field; flower preference; pollinator; weeds;

    Abstract : The increased improvement of weed control throughout the years has led to a decrease in the amount of weed in arable fields. Weeds can be a source of pollen and nectar. Pollinating insects are dependent on a variety of plants for nectar and pollen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Competition between wild bees and manged honeybees : a review of floral preferences

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Charlotte Hansson; [2020]
    Keywords : honeybees; competition; solitary bees; displacement;

    Abstract : The decline of wild pollinators has given ground for a debate on the effects of managed honeybees to wild populations. Even though honeybees are native to some areas, management and domestication has had an indisputable effect on their foraging behaviour and thus the potential effect on surrounding taxa. READ MORE
