Viktor Szigeti, PhD

research fellow

My research interest is focused on pollination biology. I am interested in the ecology of plant-pollinator interactions, primarily the flower functional traits effect on the foraging behaviour of insect pollinators. I work on better understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of floral resource use. During my PhD research, I studied the relationship between the nectar-plant availability and consumption in the Clouded Apollo butterfly (Parnassius mnemosyne). In Institute of Ecology and Botany, from 2017, I work on the “Trait-based effects of invasive plant species on native plant and pollinator communities and their usage by beekeepers at different spatial and temporal scales” project. I examine the role of non-native invasive plant species on the native plant- and the related pollinator insect communities. Furthermore, I study the temporal and spatial change of flower resources for honeybees (bee pastures).
