Pollinator Research Right Here in Massachusetts! Dr. Robert Gegear, founder of the Gegear Lab at UMass Dartmouth, will be our speaker. He'll tell us about how his lab studies factors influencing the dynamic interplay between pollinators and the flowering plants that they service. Their current research projects address such questions as: What is the functional significance of floral display complexity? Why do foraging preferences vary among pollinator species? What are the causes and consequences of global pollinator decline? How effective are different restoration and conservation strategies for native pollination systems? To address these questions, they use highly integrative experimental approaches that combine concepts and methodologies from fields such as animal behavior, human psychology, molecular biology, community ecology, and computational biology.
