Hjalte Calberg Ro-Poulsen

Hjalte Calberg Ro-Poulsen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management within the Faculty of Science. His work focuses on insect conservation ecology, particularly wild bees in urban and semi-natural environments.

His research interests span wild bee conservation, community ecology, flora-fauna interactions, and urban biodiversity. He investigates honey bee-wild bee competition dynamics, year-round grazing/rewilding effects on biodiversity, and bioretention basin ecosystems in streetscapes. His fieldwork emphasizes species community surveys to inform conservation management.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong focus on urban pollinator conservation, with recurring themes in heathland management impacts, LAR bioretention systems, and competitive interactions between managed and wild bees. His work bridges academic research with practical conservation applications through frequent public engagement.

Ro-Poulsen actively advises on wild bee management based on site-specific surveys and delivers numerous public lectures on urban entomology. His research has generated significant media attention regarding rare bee rediscoveries and invasive species monitoring in Danish urban environments.

He participates extensively in collaborative projects involving bioretention basin biodiversity and urban green space planning, working with municipal authorities and environmental organizations to implement biodiversity-friendly practices in urban infrastructure.
