For pollinators.
For people.
The Quinlan Lab studies how global change affects pollinators and the resources they depend on. We connect landscapes and floral resources to the nutritional, physiological, and behavioral responses of bees. Our research helps identify ways to support pollinator health, pollination services, and sustainable agriculture.
From landscapes
to flowers
to bee health
WHY IT MATTERS
We connect pollinator biology with practical decisions in conservation and agriculture.
QUESTIONS THAT GUIDE US
Research across
scales and systems.
We bring together landscape ecology, community ecology, molecular biology, physiology, behavior, and applied statistics to understand pollinator nutrition and health.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK
Curious minds,
shared questions.
The lab brings together students with different interests and goals. Research experiences are shaped collaboratively, with room for students to build skills and pursue questions that matter to them.
