Welcome to the Hung pollinator lab at the University of Oklahoma! We seek to understand the impacts of environmental change on plant-pollinator mutualisms and to quantify the consequences of such impacts on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem function. To that end, we apply techniques from various disciplines of biology to our studies in both natural and human-modified ecosystems. Currently, research topics at the forefront of the lab include impacts of climate change and invasive species on pollinator and plant ecology and evolution, pollinator conservation in the Great Plains, and refining techniques for effective monitoring of pollinator populations.
As a member of the Oklahoma Biological Survey and the Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory, we are also working to construct an inventory and distribution map of pollinator taxa within the state of Oklahoma, starting with native bees.
