Dr. Katie Turo is a pollinator ecologist

who combines molecular and quantitative tools to examine the mechanisms driving insect biodiversity, fitness, and plant-pollinator interactions in the Anthropocene.

A central theme of her work is reconciliation ecology, or the advancement of land management strategies to satisfy human needs while preserving healthy ecosystem functioning. As such, she often works in anthropogenic landscapes and integrates human dimensions into her conservation research.

Currently, Katie is a postdoctoral fellow in the Winfree lab where she investigates (1) how do forest bees respond to timber harvesting across large spatial and temporal scales? and (2) can pollen DNA reveal which forest plants are important forage?
