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 thesis, led by William Rosén , explores land snail diversity through the following questions: How does the diversity of land snails vary across forested ravines of different characteristics in the East Vättern Scarp Mountains biosphere area? How…

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, conducted…

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…

This project, conducted by Per, aims to explore the seasonal interactions between pollinators, such as bees and hoverflies, and the flowering times of agricultural weeds that provide essential nectar and pollen. By studying the flight activities of these pollinators and the…

This project conducted by Nicklas investigates the impact of various characteristics of oak trees, such as age, whether they are dead or alive, and their structural features, on biodiversity. The primary focus is on the ecological roles these oaks play in supporting different…

This project conducted by Karl-Olof focuses on studying the trends and distribution of the Lopinga achine butterfly, commonly known as the Woodland Brown or Dårgräsfjäril, which is classified as Near Threatened (NT). The research aims to understand the habitat preferences,…
