The contributions of flower strips to wild bee conservation in agricultural landscapes can be predicted using pollinator habitat suitability models
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Venter, Zander; Eldegard, Katrine; Torvanger, Marianne Strand; Nowell, Megan Sara; Hansen, Silke; Øverland, John Ingar; Dupont, Yoko L.; Rasmussen, Claus; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Rusch, Graciela Monica (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Sowing flower strips along field edges is a widely adopted method for conserving pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes. To maximize the effect of flower strips given limited resources, we need spatially explicit ... -
Evaluating competition for forage plants between honey bees and wild bees in Denmark
Rasmussen, Claus; Dupont, Yoko L.; Madsen, Henning Bang; Bogusch, Petr; Goulson, Dave; Herbertsson, Lina; Maia, Kate Pereira; Nielsen, Anders; Olesen, Jens M.; Potts, Simon G.; Roberts, Stuart P. M.; Sydenham, Markus A. K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A recurrent concern in nature conservation is the potential competition for forage plants between wild bees and managed honey bees. Specifically, that the highly sophisticated system of recruitment and large perennial ... -
Forest edges and other semi-natural habitat edges increase wild bee species richness and habitat connectivity in intensively managed temperate landscapes
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Nielsen, Anders; Dupont, Yoko L.; Rasmussen, Claus; Madsen, Henning Bang; Torvanger, Marianne Strand; Star, Bastiaan (Journal article, 2024)Pollinator conservation schemes are typically focused on conserving existing-, restoring degraded- or establishing new wild bee habitats. The effectiveness of such conservation schemes depends on the presence of dispersal ... -
The Native Bees of Lolland (Denmark) Revisited after 100 Years: The Demise of the Specialists
Rasmussen, Claus; Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Schmidt, Hans Thomsen; Madsen, Henning Bang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is a global concern over insect declines, including both species loss and population declines. In particular, declines of species, such as bees that anchor trophic interactions and shoulder many of the essential ...
