A large part of our research team has spent more than two weeks in the Zelezne hory Mts. collaborating on the project led by Dr. Michael Bartoš and Dr. Štěpán Janeček. In collaboration of several research institutions the project focuses on characteristics of pollination networks under landscape fragmentation. We have thus been studying plant-pollinator interactions in wet meadows under various degrees of isolation, focusing on changes in both plant and insect diversity, changes in the interactions, as well as traits on both species and community level. We have brought quite large datasets and rich materials for processing and analysis.
