You will be introduced to the following four methods used to monitor pollinating insects:
- Focal floral observations, or flower insect timed counts (FIT Count)
- Pan traps
- Metabarcoding
- Bioacoustics
Have your say:
Consider the pollination network discussed in the video, and answer the following questions:
- What do you think is the most significant threat to pollinators?
- What is it about the biology of different pollinators that makes them sensitive to that threat?
