My research program seeks to achieve a mechanistic understanding of the impacts of environmental change on plant-pollinator mutualisms, and to quantify the consequences of such impacts on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem function. My pursuit of these goals involves two main study systems: (1) species-rich natural habitats facing anthropogenic disturbances, and (2) commercial farms seeking to balance food production with ecological conservation. I am immensely invested in producing baseline data of species distributions and natural history for native bee in my local ecosystem.
