  1. 1. Privatträdgårdens potential som resurs för gynnande av pollinationssamhällen

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Karin Ericsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Pollinatörer; Biologisk mångfald; Urbanisering; Gynnande åtgärder; Påverkansfaktorer;

    Abstract : I detta arbete undersöks hotbilden mot de viktigaste pollinatörerna i Sverige, påverkansfaktorer samt vilka handlingsalternativ som finns för privatpersoner med engagemang i frågan. I dagsläget är många viktiga pollinatörer globalt och nationellt hotade, och därmed också de ekosystemtjänster som vi människor drar nytta av dagligen. READ MORE

  3. 2. “What’s the buzz with bilberries?” – Bilberry pollinator community structure and function in relation to forest type and habitat structure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Jacob Björnberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Over the last century, Swedish forests have undergone rapid land-use change due to intensification of management practices for timber production and the introduction of monocultures, which have resulted in considerable habitat loss and negative impacts to biodiversity. Insects form a significant component of forest biodiversity, yet forest-dwelling pollinators remain understudied, and little is known about how management strategies affect forest insect pollinator communities.

  4. 3. The Use of Hoverflies as Multi -Tool for Pollination and Biological Control of Aphids and Grey Mould

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Christine Petig; [2022]
    Keywords : Botrytis cinerea; entomovector technology; Eupeodes corollae; Fragaria x ananassa; insect-microbe-fruit interaction; Metschnikowia fructicola;

    Abstract : The ascomycete Botrytis cinerea is a major pathogen in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) and causes enormous fruit losses if not controlled. In biological control, microbes such as the yeast Metschnikowia fructicola are sprayed on the flowering crops to alleviate the infestation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hur nutidens ängs- och naturbetesmarkers beskaffenhet och skötsel kan anpassas till att förbättra pollinering inom trädgårdsnäringen

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Abstract : Genom pollinering överförs pollen av pollinerare till grödor som därigenom befruktas. Jordbruk och trädgårdsnäring är beroende av pollinering av deras blommande växter. READ MORE

  6. 5. Examining the Link between Temperature and Flight Phenology in Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) Using Swedish Citizen Science Data

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

    Author : Malin Magnusson Rundqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : climate change; hoverfly; phenology; pollinator; Sweden; Syrphidae;

    Abstract : Global warming is causing a general trend of rising temperatures worldwide. Simultaneously there is also a decline in populations of pollinators all over the world. Therefore, it is important to examine the effect warming temperatures might have on different pollinator species. READ MORE
