Predators and pollinators

摘要

What impact will climate change have on biological control communities? That's the question Jessica Sparkes, a Master's student at the University of Windsor, is helping tackle with her research project at the Greenhouse and Processing Crops Research Centre at Harrow, Ont. The work is part of a three-year Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) project - "Ecosystem response to perturbation at multiple spatial scales" - headed by Dr. Sherah VanLaerhoven of the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Windsor. Dr. VanLaerhoven is working with researchers with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the universities of Montreal, Laval and Simon Fraser, along with some growers in Ontario and Quebec.
