Central Research Questions The project, led by Victor Johansson, explores the ecology of Megachile lagopoda through the following questions: What are the habitat requirements and spatial distribution of M. lagopoda in Östergötland? What does the population genetic structure of…

Central Research Questions This thesis is led by Ambre Genard and explores the ecology of Phengaris arion through the following questions: How is the distribution of P. arion related to different environmental gradients such as ground moisture levels, plants and tree cover? How…

Central Research Questions This thesis is led by Nicklas Jansson and explores the ecology and taxonomy of saproxylic beetles through the following questions: How does species diversity of saproxylic beetles vary across ancient oak forests in Europe? What is the taxonomic status…

Central Research Questions This project, conducted by Victor Johansson, explores the habitat requirements, population dynamics, and conservation strategies of three endangered butterfly species Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia), Apollo (Parnassius apollo) and the Large Blue …

Central Research Questions This project is led by Karl-Olof Bergman. Its objectives are to determine habitat thresholds by establishing the minimum habitat requirements necessary for species survival, to map functional areas by identifying and mapping regions that have the…

Central Research Questions This project is led by Victor Johansson and is focused on modeling the habitat requirements and distribution of Swedish grassland butterflies.   Background and Aims The project utilizes data from regional environmental monitoring of grasslands,…

Central Research Questions The project, conducted by Victor Johansson, aims to identify the habitat requirements of Goodyera repens (knärot in swedish), analyze the population trends over the past 30 years, develop models to predict G. repens occurrence patterns, and validate G…

Central Research Questions This project is led by Per Milberg. It investigates the seasonal flight activities of various pollinators, including bees and hoverflies, to understand their temporal needs for floral resources. It analyzes the flowering schedules of common…

Central Research Questions This project is led by Nicklas Jansson. Its objectives are to evaluate biodiversity by assessing the variety of species, particularly saproxylic beetles, associated with different oak tree characteristics; to compare living and dead trees by examining…

Central Research Questions This project is led by Karl-Olof Bergman. Its objectives are to investigate the specific habitat requirements of Lopinga achine, particularly its reliance on calcareous environments and host plants; to track population trends and distribution changes…
