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

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Författare :Yiaohong Xu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Ground-nesting bees in the age of urbanization : quality of sandy habitat and wild bee diversity in Uppsala, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Indre Cepukaite; [2022]
    Nyckelord :ground-nesting bees; wild bees; cleptoparasitic bees; indicator taxon; urbanization; sandy soil; bare soil; habitat age; ground cover; diversity; pollinator protection and conservation;

    Sammanfattning : Wild bees are indispensable pollinators of most flowering plants and agricultural crops, and thus are vital components of functioning ecosystems and provide essential ecosystem services to humans. This study primarily aimed to discover the environmental features of nesting habitat that are mostly associated with wild ground-nesting and associated cleptoparasitic bee species diversity in urban landscape.

  4. 3. Effects of leaf beetle herbivory on pollination success and fruit development in woodland strawberry Fragaria vesca

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Lisa Malm; [2013]
    Nyckelord :herbivory; pollination success; pollinator reference; fruit development; fruit yield; leaf beetles; Galerucella tenella; Galerucella sagittariae; Fragaria vesca;

    Sammanfattning : Cultivating well-developed and marketable garden strawberries (Fragria x ananassa) and woodland strawberries (Fragaria vesca) depends on successful pollination by insects. Organic garden strawberry plantations harbour higher pollinator densities and have been shown to produce bigger and better developed fruits than conventional farms. LÄS MER
