Research
I am a researcher with interest in agroecology and pollinator ecology. My research focuses on pollinator responses to changes in landscape structure, exposures to agrochemicals and pressures from (invasive) biotic factors, and the subsequent implications for biological conservation and ecosystem services. For this I generally combine the use of lab experiments, field monitoring and modelling techniques, and I have growing interest in inclusive socio-ecological approaches. My work is oriented towards applied perspectives including the development of decision-support tools for informing environmental policies and stakeholders.
