Tidligere hverv

Koordinator af arbejdspakke nr.2 (WP2) under det EU finansierede Network of Excellence EDIT, fra 1.juni 2006 til 31. august 2007:
The European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy EDIT er et fælles initiativ fra 27 ledende europæiske, nordamerikanske og russiske naturvidenskabelige institutioner på en opfordring fra Europakommissionen, udstedt 2004, om at oprette et netværk der adresserer «Taxonomy for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research». Projektet er startet 1. marts 2006 og varer 5 år.

EDIT WP2s mål inkluderer at:
- Skabe et overblik over Europas taxonomiske eksperter, deres ekspertiser, og igangværende & planlagte forskningsprojekter
- Levere information for at der nemmere kan identificeres og oprettes taxonomiske arbejdsgrupper der kan udføre specifikke forskningsprojekter identificeret i EDIT
- Gøre informationen om de taxonomiske eksperter, og deres viden og arbejdsområder, tilgængelig over internettet, med øje for en bred vifte af forskellige potentielle brugergrupper

Ph.D. Study: Solitary bees and bumblebees in a Danish agricultural landscape - See Google Scholar link in right-hand menu.
In my Ph.D. project I studied and clarified several aspects of the ecology and biology of solitary bees and bumblebees occurring in the fragmented semi-natural habitats of a Danish agricultural landscape:

• Behavioural adaptations in a solitary bee species, to reduce parasitism from a nest parasite.
• Foraging- and nesting conditions for wild bees in hedgerows, forest edges, field- borders and other linear and areal habitats.
• Seasonal activity and succession of bee species. 
• Species richness and relative abundance, including estimation of the actual number of species occurring in the agricultural landscape. 
• Dispersal patterns in a winter oilseed rape field, importance of bees in pollination and potential competition from honeybees.
