Abstract
The project examines how plant species interact for pollination through pollinator attraction and heterospesific pollination. Moreover the effects of such interaction for plant seed production and population dynamics is examined. Finally, an experiment where the composition of the pollinator fauna is altered is conducted to examine if a shift in the pollinator fauna will have impacts on the plant species composition and diversity of ecosystems.
