Plant-pollinator research at OSU

Research in my lab focuses on understanding the community and population ecology of native bees. Current research: bee response to native prairie plantings on reclaimed mines, tradeoffs between pollinator health and pest management in pumpkin crops, and survey for the endangered Rusty Patch Bumble Bee and other bumble bees in Ohio.
