Grant Description

This project will build empirical species interaction networks of predatory arthropods (such as Coleoptera or Odonata) and their prey (including economically important pest species), and flower-visiting insects (solitary and social bees) at the farm and field scale, to test the hypothesis that nature-

based climate solutions can increase the robustness of ecological network structure, and thus the resilience of ecosystem services delivered by arthropods. Sampling will be based around replicated experimental trials of nature-based climate solutions being codesigned with stakeholders in a major new interdisciplinary project led by the University of Cambridge and funded

from 2022.
