21. The effects of the exploiters (non-pollinating insects) on mutualistic interactions between the plant and its pollinator
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiAbstract : 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

22. INDIVIDUAL TRAIT MATCHING OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS) AND FLOWERS ALONG AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : 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.

23. “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 biologiAbstract : 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.

24. POLLINATION ECOLOGY OF PEDICULARIS SCEPTRUM-CAROLINUM : An investigation on flower visits in northern Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Pedicularis sceptrum-carolinum is threatened in much of its geographic range. As it reproduces vegetatively only to a limited extent, the species relies heavily on pollinators for reproduction. One aspect often overlooked in restoration efforts is the pollination ecology of flowering plants and their pollinators. READ MORE

25. Skapandet av en multifunktionell plantering : fokus på växter som gynnar pollinatörer och doft för ökad hälsa
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural DevelopmentAbstract : Luktsinnet har konstaterats vara ett betydelsefullt sinne i vår vardag. Naturdoft har i synnerhet visat sig ha en positiv inverkan för människans välmående. Vid gestaltning och planering av nya grönytor är dock synen det sinnet som prioriteras. READ MORE
