Current:
As part of my postdoc at the SLU Department of Plant Protection Biology, I am investigating crop- insect pest - natural enemy interactions using winter oilsee rape as a study system. We are interested in how landscape effects and local management such as insectiside spraying and intercropping with legumes (e.g. clovers, faba bean and pea) are modulating these interactions. This project is in collaboration with Peter Anderson, Mattias Larsson, Ola Lundin, the Cropping Systems Ecology unit and the Plant Protection centre of the Swedish Board of Agriculture. Funded by Formas (2022-2024)
Past:
During my PhD at the SLU Department of Ecology in Riccardo Bommarco's group, I studied the effects of diversified farming systems at both landscape scale (landscape crop diversity) and field scale (supplementation of wildflower strips and honeybee hives), on ecosystem services such as natural pest control and pollination in faba beans in southern Sweden. For this project we worked in collaboration with Hushållningssällskapet in Skåne.
"Safeguard- safeguarding European wild pollinators" project funded by EU Horizon 2020 (2021-2025). I analysed how mass-flowering crops in the landscape shape wild pollinator communities in different habitats within agricultural landscapes.
Optimized pollination of field beans (Vicia faba minor) for sustainable supply of plant protein. Funded by Formas to Ola Lundin. Specifically, I was involved in testing the interactive effects between insect pollination, weeds and fungal infection on faba bean yield and bumblebee visitation rate.
Interactive effects of insect pollination and weed infestation in different lupin cultivars as part of the IMPULSE-project: Fostering the organic cultivation of grain legumes; a multi-scale feasability study for soy bean and lupin production in Sweden funded by FORMAS and lead by Alexander Menegat.
