SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Charlie Thrift
DESCRIPTION:Concentrated Vulnerabilities in Bees: Diet Specialists Have Smaller Geographic Ranges with Charlie Thrift\nCharlie Thrift is a PhD student at UC Santa Barbara advised by Katja Seltmann (Big-Bee project) and Hillary Young. His interest in bees began as an over-correction from his mom’s fear of bees\, and was further fostered by his time in high school in the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History’s teen science program\, Quasars to Sea Stars. Charlie seeks to inform bee conservation through a combination of museum specimens\, field work\, and community science. He will talk about his recently published research! Wild bees with small geographic ranges or narrow diet breadths may be more vulnerable to anthropogenic change. Using occurrence data and diet breadth data for 633 bee species from six families\, we find a positive correlation between these two traits. This concentrates vulnerabilities in a subset of specialist bees\, but may also provide an opportunity for targeted conservation efforts. \n  \nRegister for the Zoom meeting here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/DF42A-q9SnKXBUI4MB0utg

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Dr. Hollis Woodard
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in US Bee Conservation \nHollis is an Associate Professor of Entomology at the University of California\, Riverside and PI of the US National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network. She received a PhD in Biology in 2012 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where she worked with Dr. Gene Robinson on the molecular basis of social evolution in bees. From 2013-2015 she was a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the nutritional ecology of bumble bees with Dr. Shalene Jha at the University of Texas at Austin. In summer 2015\, she joined the faculty at the University of California\, Riverside. She is broadly interested in native bee ecology\, evolution\, social behavior\, and conservation\, and is leading national efforts to conserve US wild bees. \nBee conservation in the US is currently hindered by challenges associated with assessing the status and trends of a diverse group of >3000 species\, many of which are rare\, endemic to small areas\, and/or exhibit high inter-annual variationin population size. Fundamental information about the distribution of most species across space and time\, thus\, is lacking yet urgently needed to assess population status\, guide conservation plans\, and prioritize actions among species and geographies.
