Night pollinators – an overlooked component of pollination networks
The Faculty of Science at the University of South Bohemia is launching a transformative 4-year research project dedicated to nocturnal pollinators. Despite their fundamental ecological significance, nocturnal pollinators remain disproportionately understudied, leaving a critical knowledge gap in our understanding of complex pollination networks.
This project aims to bridge this global knowledge gap by developing and implementing state-of-the-art AI-powered models for the automated taxonomic identification of insects captured via high-resolution camera traps. You will build upon the prestigious SEPPI Biodiversa (Standardized European monitoring of plant-pollinator interactions; https://seppi-pollinate.weebly.com) initiative, extending its proven hardware and software frameworks into the challenging and complex nocturnal environment.
