Landscape Effects on Population Connectivity of a Rare Specialist Bee
McCarthy will study the rare Parnassia mining bee to determine how well-connected bee populations fare in heterogeneous environments. McCarthy’s research will focus on populations of specialist wild bees and their relationship with host plants. McCarthy will measure genetic differentiation among populations to assess how geographic distance and landscape composition between sites affects population connectivity.
