Dr. Rebecca Tonietto, Associate Professor and pollinator researcher at the University of Michigan - Flint, will give the Bennett Endowed Lecture in Plant & Fungal Ecology at the U-M Biological Station. The lecture is open to students, faculty, researchers, and the public.

Dr. Tonietto studies native bee communities – how their diversity and structure are related to plant communities, surrounding land-use, and management – for pollinator conservation. She works at the intersection of multiple fields, but is primarily a community ecologist interested in conservation and restoration biology.
