Ett evolutionärt perspektiv bör beaktas för att kunna garantera långsiktig pollinering av grödor. Det är slutsatsen i en artikel publicerad av BECC- och CEC-anknutna forskare vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna tar avstamp i senare tids rön om att evolutionära processer, som svar på landskapsförändringar, sker fortare än man tidigare trott. I artikeln presenteras en modell som kan hjälpa oss att förs
