Dr. Amibeth Thompson

Meine vorherigen Forschungsarbeiten konzentrierten sich auf Pflanzen-Bestäuber Netzwerke in Agrarökosystemen über Raum und Zeit hinweg und die Bewertung der Artenvielfalt im Agrar- und Offenland in Deutschland, die im Buch Faktencheck Artenvielfalt veröffentlicht wurde. Aktuell bin ich die Projekt-Managerin für das transdisziplinäre EU Projekt RestPoll „Restoring pollinator habitats across European agricultural landscapes based on multi-actor participatory approaches“, das darauf abzielt, der Gesellschaft Werkzeuge zur Verfügung zu stellen, um den Rückgang wilder Bestäuber umzukehren.
