University of Bristol Botanic Garden presents a lecture by Anna Tatark.
Anna Tatarko has a PhD in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology from the University of Nevada, Reno. She is currently working with Professor Jane Memmott at the University of Bristol studying the impacts of pesticide reduction efforts on pollinator communities.
Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems, but their choices about which plants to visit aren’t always straightforward. In this talk, she will share her research on the factors that exist “in between” pollinators and the plants they visit – like pesticides, parasites, and other hidden influences.
