It’s not just
bees: Hoverflies as pollinators in Welsh grasslands
Andrew Lucas
Our speaker this week is Andrew Lucas; Andrew is
undertaking a PhD in the Biosciences department here at Swansea University.
Andrew achieved his BSc in Ecology at University of East Anglia in 1984 and has
previously worked for NRW, (previously CCW), before starting his PhD.
Abstract:
There is much concern about the decline
of bees, but many other insects are important pollinators. This talk will give some background on one
group of fly pollinators: the hoverflies.
It will also describe my research, which is using traditional field
methods and innovative molecular techniques to explore their role in
pollination in grassland habitats.
