Floral resources in urban gardens (bachelor / master thesis or internship)

14.01.2025, Diplomarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

Are you interested in plants, bees and urbanization? We are looking for a motivated student to join the CityBees project for their bachelor or master thesis or for a research internship. In the CityBees project we study the interactions between wild bees and flowers in cities. Although the availability of floral resources can support bees in cities, plants themselves are also affected by urbanization. We are looking for a student who wants to study how floral resources interact with urbanization. Tasks may include the collection of nectar and pollen from six flower species in urban community gardens in Munich and/or Berlin, chemical analyses of pollen nutrition, and statistical analyses. Timeframe: start spring 2025 Send an email if you are interested and we can meet to discuss the options. Starting dates and exact topics are flexible.
