Pollinators in Northern Climates

Join researchers, students, educators and professionals from across disciplines for a day of discussion and discovery focused on the challenges and opportunities facing pollinators in northern ecosystems.

As landscapes shift due to land-use change, intensified agriculture, and rapidly warming climates, pollinator communities are undergoing profound transitions. This conference will highlight current research on pollinator and pollination biology, pollinator health, and ecosystem function across northern latitudes. Talks and poster session will explore topics including land-use dynamics, plant–pollinator interactions, pollinator health and physiology, and the role of pollinators in agriculture.
