  1. 6. Förhållanden för pollination i rödklöver; konstant eller tidsbunden variation? : undersökning av tidpunktens inflytande över variation i pollinering och frösättning hos Trifolium pratense L.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Helena Carlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Rödklöver; Trifolium pratense; pollination; frösättning; Bombus;

    Abstract : Frösättning i klöver (Trifolium pratense L.) är i majoritet av moderna kommersiellt odlade sorter högt varierande och ger en opålitlig och osäker produktion. READ MORE

  3. 7. Modelling the effects of substituting pollinators in decline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Axel Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : pollinators; plants; mutualism; competition; equilibrium populations; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : While pollination is essential for many plant species and ecosystem functions, pollinator populations worldwide are declining. This decline is largely due to abiotic changes in the environment: climate change and other anthropogenic impacts, such as pesticides and land use change. READ MORE

  4. 8. Pollinator communities on a landscape complexity gradient in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Hanna Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : pollinator; bumblebee; rough pasture; semi-natural pasture; unimproved grazing; landscape complexity;

    Abstract : Investigating how pollinator populations are affected by land use changes is crucial for predicting their persistence in the landscape and thereby the persistence of the significant service they provide to crop production. Pollinator populations are subjected to multiple threats, particularly overall intensification of cropping systems and landscape simplification. READ MORE

  5. 9. The effects of the exploiters (non-pollinating insects) on mutualistic interactions between the plant and its pollinator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Yiaohong Xu; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Mutualistic interactions between, for example, plants and pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystems, while non-pollinating insects (exploiters) that exploit plants are commonly thought to have destabilizing effects. The long-term, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 10. 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.
