Webinar information
The loss of pollinators is a global concern, and it is unclear whether forest management activities have deleterious or beneficial effects on their abundance and richness. Comparing several regional studies, this webinar will examine how multiple forest restoration treatments with varying objectives impact pollinator communities and their interactions with floral species across different ecosystems. Although findings converge on the interpretation that restoration treatments are likely to benefit pollinators, there are also factors unique to different ecosystems that affect recommended best management practices for pollinator conservation.

Associate Professor
Colorado State University
Seth Davis is an Associate Professor of Forest Entomology in the Warner College of Natural Resources at Colorado State University. Researchers in the Davis lab investigate solutions to traditional aspects of forest health, such as insect pests and diseases of forest trees, as well as the role of landscape change and disturbance on beneficial insects including native pollinators.

Michael Ulyshen (Moderator)
Research Entomologist
USDA Forest Service
Michael’s research focuses on how pollinator diversity and composition vary depending on forest structure, tree composition, and management activities. Most recently, he has been working with a large group of collaborators to survey bees, hover flies, and butterflies in forests across the southeastern U.S. This work seeks to better understand the diversity of forest-dwelling pollinators native to the region as well as to clarify how these assemblages are shaped by ecoregion, landscape context, stand conditions.
