Pollination Ecology Workgroup at the University of Tartu is interested in the relationships between plants and the insects that pollinate them, studying their interactions from gene flow of plants to plant-pollinator interaction networks.

Really a great opportunity to introduce our research and plan collaboration.🏵️
We were very happy to welcome Tsipe Aavik for a #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalk last week. She introduced us to the world of landscape genetics🧬and spoke about a succesful Citizen Science Project concerning the counting of cowslips🌼

‼️New article in @oikosjournal.bsky.social led by our post-doc Arne Devriese used metabarcoding to identify🌼🦋 plant pollinator interactions in fragmented dune slacks along the Belgian coast, and uncovered that pollinators commonly interact with resources in the surrounding landscape.

‼️New article published in AoBP revealing how habitat loss and fragmentation affect heterostylous plants!
The study was led by Dr Marianne Kivastik from our workgroup and was part of her PhD thesis that she successfuly defended in spring.

🌿 New article in @aobp.bsky.social addressing how habitat loss and fragmentation affect heterostylous plants, revealing consequences such as reduced population size, biased morph ratios, disrupted pollination, and shifts toward selfing.

Last week, we met in sunny☀️ Uppsala with our @biodiversaplus.bsky.social FuncNet project partners to discuss the work done and manuscript ideas and plan our coming fieldwork.
We also had a short trip to one of the Swedish project sites, where we found already first cowslip leaves and pollinators 🌻🐝

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris
A large-scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S-morphs over L-morphs, which was influenced ....
