Climatic conditions and landscape diversity predict plant–beeinteractions and pollen deposition in bee-pollinated plants
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Dupont, Yoko L.; Nielsen, Anders; Olesen, Jens M.; Madsen, Henning Bang; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Rasmussen, Claus; Nowell, Megan Sara; Venter, Zander; Hegland, Stein Joar; Helle, Anders Gunnar; Skoog, Daniel Ingvar Jeuderan; Torvanger, Marianne Strand; Hanevik, Kaj-Andreas; Hinderaker, Sven Emil; Paulsen, Thorstein; Eldegard, Katrine; Reitan, Trond; Rusch, Graciela Monica (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)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
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Venter, Zander; Reitan, Trond; Rasmussen, Claus; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Skoog, Daniel Ingvar Jeuderan; Hanevik, Kaj-Andreas; Hegland, Stein Joar; Dupont, Yoko L.; Nielsen, Anders; Chipperfield, Joseph; Rusch, Graciela (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Predicting plant–pollinator interaction networks over space and time will improve our understanding of how environmental change is likely to impact the functioning of ecosystems. Here we propose a framework for producing ... -

Neutral processes related to regional bee commonness and dispersal distances are important predictors of plant–pollinator networks along gradients of climate and landscape conditions
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Venter, Zander; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Eldegard, Katrine; Kuhlmann, M.; Reitan, Trond; Rasmussen, C.; Paxton, R.; Dupont, Yoko L.; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Hegland, Stein Joar; Nielsen, Anders; Olesen, J.M.; Nowell, Megan Sara; Rusch, Graciela (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Understanding how niche-based and neutral processes contribute to the spatial varia-tion in plant–pollinator interactions is central to designing effective pollination con-servation schemes. Such schemes are needed to ... -

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
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 ...
