Specialization: Pollinator ecology

Overview

Pollinator health, invasive species, global change, ecosystem services, ecological networks, mutualistic interactions, agriculture, insect conservation

Research Focus

My primary research focuses are pollinator health and nutrition, win-win scenarios between agriculture and conservation, impacts of global change on ecosystem services, and the structure, function, and management of ecological communities.

Research Questions
  • How do pollinators select floral resources based on nutrition? How do we promote pollinator health in agroecosystems?
