Worth Knowing: Are insects declining also in Sweden?

Insects are declining at alarming rates in many parts of the world, but what is the situation in Sweden? Welcome to a lunch lecture where Mattias Jonsson shares his knowledge based on 35 years of suction trap samples. The library will provide a light lunch.

  • Lunch is served from 11:45.
  • Seating is limited and will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

Jonsson and his research group have analysed how catches of different groups of insects in suction traps have changed over time across Sweden, and how weather influences these catches. How does the situation here compare to the global trend of insect decline? 

Mattias Jonsson is a senior lecturer at the Department of Ecology, the Agricultural Entomology Unit.

Take part online, live or afterwards

If you are unable to attend in the studio, you can watch live on SLU Play and on the SLU University Library’s Facebook page. The lecture will also be available to watch afterwards on SLU Play, but it will take a couple of weeks before it is published there.

Please note that the number of seats in the Studio is limited. The seats are distributed on a first come, first serve basis.
