Abstract

Coastal wetlands are intricate ecosystems with highly populated insect faunas, consisting of various important pollinators, that offer a wealth of biodiversity. This research aims to develop a complete model for modeling insect population dynamics within coastal wetlands, concentrating on the pollinator populations of bees, flies, and beetles. The goal is to determine the impact of specific traits like salinity, vegetation variety, tidal cycles, and climate oscillations on insect activity, population size, and pollination efficiency. The study combines ecological fieldwork, spatial mapping, and statistical modeling to fulfil its objectives. This research determines the most relevant parameters for the health of the insects and pollination services they provide. This model combines biological and environmental parameters to assess the impact of climate and land use changes on the populations of the specific insects studied. This research aims to enhance primary research in plant science on the understudied domain of mutualistic relationships between plants and their pollinators, aid in strategic planning for coastal wetlands' conservation, and advance ecosystem services activated in these regions. This work aims to enable scientifically sound decision-making for wetland biodiversity management.
