Plant-Insect Ecosystems

Science Policy

When Life Gives You Lemons: Environmental Change & Pollinator Nutrition Research Influencing Policy

Sunday, November 5, 2023
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Chesapeake G-H

In-Person

This symposium will provide an overview of the latest research concerning how the environment indirectly affects insect and pollinator health by altering the resources plants produce for pollination. Specifically, there will be an emphasis on how pollen and nectar is affected by biotic and abiotic factors.
