Hi, I'm Jess and I am a PhD student in Dr. David Holway's Lab at the University of California San Diego in the Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution Department. My research looks at how land-use change and climate change interact to drive changes in native bee biodiversity in fragmented habitats with the goal of detecting which species are at risk of extinction to inform conservation efforts. I am interested in how community science platforms like iNaturalist (www.inaturalist.org) can engage a broad audience to gather crucial baseline biodiversity data using non-lethal monitoring methods.
