Dr. Brosi will we joining the Department of Environmental Studies in January 2010.
Research in the Brosi lab is focused on understanding how global environmental change affects plant-pollinator systems. Our work addresses topics such as the effects of land-use change on bee communities; the impacts of bee species losses on plant pollination in diverse natural communities; the conservation and landscape genetics of bees; and understanding and managing disease threats in bees. We use a range of scientific approaches including comparative and experimental field studies, mathematical modeling, population genetics, stable isotope studies, and GIS and remote sensing.
