Research
Diversity of insect pollinators is often linked with the availability of floral resources at both local and landscape scales. Theses pollinators and their mutualistic interactions with flowering plants are susceptible to land use disturbances, especially intensive agriculture and habitat fragmentation. Cascading effects of these often results in pollination deficiency in pollinator dependent plants. These have been the focus of my research which has involved studies in African Savanna, Rainforest and Mediterranean ecosystems.
