Peter Soroye

Picture
Peter Soroye is a conservation biologist working with Prof Jeremy Kerr at the University of Ottawa. Peter investigates how climate change and global land use change interact to cause extinction in pollinators like butterflies and bumblebees, with the goal of developing better solutions and tools to help mitigate or reverse biodiversity loss.

Lynette Renae Strickland

Picture
​Dr. Lynette Renae Strickland is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist broadly interested in the mechanisms maintaining variation within and between populations. Her work focuses on understanding the maintenance of color variation in the Neotropical tortoise beetle, Chelymorpha alternans. Using a combination of genomics technologies (Illumina 10X, Oxford Nanopore long reads, and RAD sequencing) as well as ecological bioassays (predator studies, mate choice and chemical assays), she takes a holistic and highly integrative approach for understanding the benefits and maintenance of variation.

Margarita M. Lopéz-uribe​

Picture
Dr. Margarita M. López-Uribe is an entomologist, evolutionary ecologist, and extension specialist in pollinator health. Her research focuses on understanding how environmental change and human management shapes bee health and long-term persistence of their populations in agricultural areas. ​

Alexandra Harmon-Threatt​

Picture
Dr. Alexandra Harmon-Threatt is a pollination ecologist with broad interests in understanding the patterns and processes that govern plant-pollinator interactions for conservation. Pollinators play a vital role in plant reproduction, food production and ecosystem stability but are believed to be declining globally. Her work focuses on identifying and understanding patterns in natural environments to help conserve and restore pollinator diversity. With a particular focus on bees, she investigates how a number of factors at both the local and landscape scale, including plant diversity, isolation and bee characteristics, effect bee diversity in local communities.

Natasha Young

Picture
Natasha Young is a Graduate Student Researcher in the Maddison Lab at Oregon State University. She  is interested in weevil taxonomy and systematics, particularly as it relates to questions of morphological adaptations in genera of weevils that include pest species and how these changes relate to diversity.
