CEES Seminar

[Natalie Campbell]

The CEES Seminar Series presents:

*Nick Dorian*, post-doctoral researcher Chicago Botanic Gardens

*Watching wild bees in the Anthropocene*

The Northeast is home to an enchanting diversity of wild bees. In recent
years, these important pollinators have vaulted into the spotlight as
conservation priorities. Yet, even the most well-intentioned conservation
efforts are hampered by large gaps in our understanding of their ecology
and natural history. In this talk, Dr. Nick Dorian will present findings on
how wild bee populations have changed over the past century, and what
observations today can teach us about the resilience of bees in the future.
Looking forward, filling knowledge gaps will require a shift towards study
of living specimens. What might we learn if we started watching wild bees
through binoculars? Drawing on the shift made with birds and butterflies in
the 20th century, answering this question for bees will not only require
developing new techniques for field identification, but also centering the
contributions of amateur naturalists.

*Friday Sept 6**  6**pm. *
*Hudson 106*
*Reception prior to the talk at 5:00*
