Pollinators are essential for the health of agriculture and natural
ecosystems, but there have been dramatic declines in key pollinator
populations worldwide. A major theme of this year’s conference will be
translating the results of recent research advances in the biology and
health of pollinators into solutions that can be applied to conserve and
expand pollinator populations.  Symposium speakers from North and South
America, Europe, Africa, and Australia will cover a range of topics in
pollinator research, from genomics to ecology, and their application to
land use and management, breeding of managed bees, and monitoring of global
pollinator populations.  Recent initiatives in policy, education, and
extension will also be highlighted.  The conference schedule can be found
on the website.



Note that on Sunday, July 17, 2016, the Xerces Society will sponsor a
Pollinator Conservation Short Course at Penn State University in
association with this conference.  Information about this short course and
registration is also available on the conference website.
