Dr. Bartlett will speak on the topic of genetic diversity.

“My work integrates across ecological and evolutionary biology using techniques spanning mathematical models to field studies. My current focus explores how changes in host ecology affect the ecology of their infectious diseases, and consequences for both pathogen and host evolution. I apply this to managed apiculture in an effort to assist beekeepers in maintaining viable honeybee populations, and includes nutrition, ecotoxicology, and wider integration with agroecology from the perspective of a pests & pathogens biologist.”
