Overview

Per Milberg is a researcher affiliated with Linköping University in Sweden. Their work primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science. Within these broad areas, Milberg has concentrated on several subfields, including Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics; Plant Science; Insect Science; Nature and Landscape Conservation; and Ecology.

Their research topics encompass a variety of areas, notably Plant and Animal Studies, Plant Parasitism and Resistance, Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior, Botany and Plant Ecology Studies, and Forest Insect Ecology and Management.

Milberg has published research in multiple venues, with frequent contributions to Forest Ecology and Management, Ecology and Evolution, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), SSRN Electronic Journal, and the European Journal of Entomology.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Per Milberg include:

  • Assemblages of flower-visiting insects in clear-cuts are rich and dynamic (2021, European Journal of Entomology)
  • Site factors are more important than management for indicator species in semi-natural grasslands in southern Sweden (2020, Plant Ecology)
  • Buffering effects of soil seed banks on plant community composition in response to land use and climate (2020, Global Ecology and Biogeography)
  • Color pan traps often catch less when there are more flowers around (2021, Ecology and Evolution)
  • Multiple factors shape the interaction of people with urban greenspace: Sweden as a case study (2022, Urban forestry & urban greening)

Milberg has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including Karl-Olof Bergman, Lars Westerberg, Victor Johansson, Malin Tälle, and Markus Franzén.
