Profile:

 

I study the ecology of insect pollinator behaviour and pollen movement between plants, focusing particularly on bumblebees and honeybees. By answering fundamental questions about how pollinators like bees move around at the landscape scale we hope to be able to make and test predictions about how they move pollen around and the consequent bee-mediated plant gene flow. Our team has the overarching aims of 1) conserving and promoting bee populations and 2) protecting and promoting wild flower and crop pollination. We work primarily, but not exclusively, in arable landscapes examining pollination of model plant species such as Brassica napus (oilseed rape), Trifolium repens (white clover) and Borago officinalis (borage).
