- Abstract:
- The influence of habitat modification and resource productivity on pollinator-parasite community structure will be studied. Bumblebee and parasite abundance and diversity will be determined using standard techniques and fully quantified food webs of flowering plants, bumblebee pollinators and their parasites will be constructed for three habitat types representing different levels of resource availability and persistence. Patterns in resource productivity will be determined by measuring diversity, abundance and nectar production of flowering plant species. This data will (i) identify shifts in species diversity and abundance of plants, bumblebees and parasites across habitat types, (ii) quantify the strength of interactions between species, and (iii) derive specific predictions for experiments on direct and indirect interactions within the food webs.
