      Climate change, landscape homogenization, and the decline of beneficial insectsthreaten pollination services to wild plants and crops. Understanding how pollinationpotential (i.e. the capacity of ecosystems to support ...
    • High resolution prediction maps of solitary bee diversity can guide conservation measures 

      Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Venter, Zander; Eldegard, Katrine; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Steinert, Mari; Staverløkk, Arnstein; Dahle, Sondre; Skoog, Daniel Ingvar Jeuderan; Hanevik, Kaj-Andreas; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Rusch, Graciela (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Wild bees are key ecosystem components making their decline a cause for concern. An effective measure to increase wild bee diversity is to enhance plant diversity. However, the effect on bee diversity of augmenting plant ...
    • Increased nationwide use of green spaces in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic 

      Ulset, Vidar Sandsaunet; Venter, Zander; Kozak, Michal; Nordbø, Emma Charlott Andersson; von Soest, Tilmann Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In recent years, there has been growing concern about the decline in human green space use and nature-based recreation in Western countries. While some evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased recreational ...
    • MetaComNet: A random forest- based framework for making spatial predictions of plant– pollinator interactions

    • Priority maps for pollinator habitat enhancement schemes in semi-natural grasslands 

      Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Eldegard, Katrine; Venter, Zander; Evju, Marianne; Åström, Jens; Rusch, Graciela (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Conserving semi-natural grasslands, a threatened habitat type in European landscapes, is increasingly recognized as a measure to conserve pollinators. Our aim was to test if (a) prediction maps of solitary bee species ...
    • The contributions of flower strips to wild bee conservation in agricultural landscapes can be predicted using pollinator habitat suitability models
