In addition to the well-known honeybees, numerous other groups of insects are
responsible for pollinating various plant species.
By means of our established DNA metabarcoding workflow, we can quickly and reliably identify
species compositions regardless of how numerous or complex the community is. Barcodes enable
us to reliably and holistically determine the diversity of insects and its spatiotemporal relationship
with flower strips, agricultural or urban areas. More to the point, they allow us to identify and
protect the pollinators taking on the ecosystem services indispensable for the maintenance of
healthy and balanced ecosystems.
