Landscape fragmentation and pollinator movement within agricultural environments: a modelling framework for exploring foraging and movement ecology

摘要: Pollinator decline has been linked to landscape change, through both habitat fragmentation and the loss of suitable for pollinators live within. One method exploring why change should affect pollinator populations is combine individual-level behavioural ecological techniques with larger-scale ecology. A modelling framework described that uses spatially-explicit individual-based models explore effects individual rules within a landscape. The technique gives simple removal wild corridors, creation set-aside fields: interventions are common many national agricultural policies. these manipulations on central-place nesting varied, depend upon using move environment. value this discussed, future directions exploration identified.
