Andy Hess

Andy is studying the distribution of cardenolides in milkweeds and the impact on pollinator visitation

Tatiana Terranova

Tatiana is investigating the melanin gene networks that drive coloration in comimetic bumble bees species.  She is also interested in the application of RNAi in bumble bees for knocking down key coloration genes.

Hannah Jahnke

Hannah is studying how floral toxicity impacts bumble bee visitation using milkweed as model system.

Tori Strausser

Tori is performing DNA barcoding approaches to decipher between mimetic bumble bee species and performed cross-season field surveys assessing the foraging preferences and landscape factors impacting bumble bee communities.
