Dr Lizzie CantProject Title: This is a full-time, BBSRC funded PhD project in collaboration with Rothamsted Research, jointly supervised by Jeff Ollerton and Juliet Osborne |

The aim of this PhD project is to establish the degree to which linear landscape features in an agricultural setting facilitate the movement of foraging pollinators and consequent gene flow between patches of plants. The linear features considered have been hedges and roads, and their potential guiding or barrier effects have been investigated with regards to pollinator movement and plant gene flow. The bee pollinated species Trifolium repens, white clover (Fabaceae) has been used as the experimental plant species. Consequently, due to its pollination style, predominantly bee movement has been investigated. A summary of my PhD project is shown in this figure below. Click for a more detailed image (1142 x 850)
