Thesis Abstract

This project aims to investigate the impact of plant-pollinator interactions on plant population dynamics. Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and birds, play a crucial role in plant reproduction by facilitating pollen transfer. However, the specific effects of pollinators on plant population dynamics, including population size, genetic diversity, and spatial distribution, are not fully understood. In this study, we will examine the relationship between plant-pollinator interactions and plant population dynamics in different ecosystems. By quantifying pollinator visitation rates, pollen flow, and plant reproductive success, this research will contribute to a better understanding of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-pollinator interactions and may have implications for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management.
