There is consensus that land-use change a main driver behind the recent declines of many pollinator populations in Europe. However, it still not adequately understood how local resource quality and landscape composition influence pollinators, if effects vary space time. We analysed landscape- (2 km radius) scale- (50 m transects) resources on bumblebee species richness abundance during two years South-eastern Norway, where agriculture highly modernised but landscapes show limited spatial...
Abstract Climate change is altering the world's ecosystems through direct effects of climate warming and precipitation changes but also indirectly in biotic interactions. For instance, climate‐driven plant and/or insect communities may alter plant–pollinator interactions, thereby influencing reproductive success ultimately population dynamics insect‐pollinated plants. To better understand how importance pollination for fruit set varies with climate, we experimentally excluded pollinators...
Wild bees are key ecosystem components making their decline a cause for concern. An effective measure to increase wild bee diversity is enhance plant diversity. However, the effect on of augmenting depends site-specific environmental conditions. We aimed make spatial predictions where: (a) conditions maximize diversity, so that such areas can be prioritized diversity; and (b) populations threatened species most likely occur. surveyed communities in traditionally managed hay meadows SE Norway...
Abstract Urban green infrastructure can provide important habitats for pollinators and support urban ecosystem services. Therefore, these areas must be managed to maximize biodiversity density of pollinating insects. We used DNA metabarcoding study honeybee pollen resource use over time space in the city Oslo, Norway, assess role as a services they generate. honeybees diverse resources throughout their active season. There was considerable seasonal turnover that reflected flowering...
