eng Abstract:
The general aim of the thesis is to shed light on invertebrate herbivory and pollination in relation to the changing environment. Several experiments were conducted on meadow communities in the temperate region, and we combined manipulative and experimental approaches during data collection. The first chapter of the thesis investigated the change of invertebrate herbivory across one season affected by phylogeny and plant functional traits. The second chapter emphasized the impact of range-shifting plants, driven by increasing temperature as a proxy for global warming, on herbivory damage. Similarly, the third chapter focused on plant-pollinator turnover on range-shifting plants, driven by increasing temperature as a proxy for global warming. The last fourth chapter examined the effect of increasing temperature as a proxy for global warming on pollen viability of widespread forb.
