Pollinators in a Changing Climate: Threats and Solutions

Bug Banter with the Xerces Society

We’ve all heard about climate change. It’s a rather complicated issue. One that has come up several times in this podcast as we discuss the threats facing invertebrates. So in this episode, we will focus on what we can expect as our climate changes and what that means for our pollinators. And of course, what actions you can take to help these important insects in the face of climate change.

Joining us to talk about this issue is Angela Laws, Xerces Society Endangered Species Conservation Biologist and Climate Change Lead. Her role at the Xerces Society involves incorporating climate resiliency into pollinator restoration projects. Angela has over 15 years of experience studying arthropods in grassland habitats, including studies of how climate change can affect species interactions.
