  2. 2. The visual ecology of bees - Tales of diverse eyes and behaviours

    Författare :Pierre Tichit; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal behaviour; Arthropods; Bumblebees; Compound Eyes; Crystalline cones; Flight control; Image analysis; Landing; Sensory ecology; Stingless bees; Vision; X-ray microtomography;

    Sammanfattning : The buzzing flight of bees is a popular summer hit. Yet, outside of a few familiar species of honeybees and bumblebees, these fantastic little creatures are still mostly unknown. With about twenty-five thousand species, bees are a very diverse group. They can be found in drastically different habitats. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Spatial Vision in Bees : Behavioural investigation of spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity

    Författare :Aravin Chakravarthi; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Nyckelord :Insect vision; Honeybees; Bumblebees; Spatial resolution; Contrast sensitivity; Motion detection; Object discrimination;

    Sammanfattning : Bees use multiple sensory modalities to perform day-to-day tasks. Light allows them to perceive objects and the general features of their surroundings, enabling them to find food and to navigate safely across the landscape. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Understanding the adaptive capacity of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris across native and novel environments

    Författare :Cecilia Hjort; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bumblebees; Bombus terrestris; Pollination; Introgression; Single nucleotide polymorphisms; Whole Genome Sequencing; Landscape simplification; Gene flow; Morphology; Environmental variation; Invasion; Local adaptation; Island;

    Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic stressors such as agricultural intensification, climate change, andincreased densities of non-native managed bees used for crop pollination arecontributing to bee declines. Understanding how and why bees have responded topast environmental changes is crucial for predicting future ones and enablingmitigation to maintain the functioning of both natural and agricultural ecosystems.

  5. 5. Small biotopes: Landscape and management effects on pollinators

    Författare :Annika Söderman; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agri-environmnetal scheme; management; agriculture; landscape complexity; heterogeneity; landscape scale; mall biotopes; field boundaries; pollinating insects; pollination; bumblebees; solitary bees; hoverflies;

    Sammanfattning : The intensification of agriculture during the second half of the twentieth century, has caused sever declines of farmland biodiversity, where loss of semi-natural habitats is one of the major drivers. To halt further loss of habitat and biodiversity, agri-environmental schemes (AES) are used to compensate farmers to use methods less harmful to the environment. LÄS MER
