PhD project: Connecting habitat for pollinators - How to restore endangered hummingbird habitat at managed forests?
The main subject I am interested in is understanding how management activities in fragmented forests affect the interactions of the pollinator community. I will use hummingbird-plant pollinator systems because hummingbirds are specialized pollinators sensitive to forest fragmentation, allowing us to study resource availability, habitat use, and the changes in the community assemblage level.
During my PhD, I will explore how these forest management strategies can affect the persistence of hummingbird-plant interactions in the long term. Also, I will explore the effect of some of these management practices on establishing and surviving nectar plants to propose a Restoration Plan to connect the habitat to natural or cultivated landscapes. The overall achievement of this project is creating a model for conserving the hummingbird pollination system based on community participation, raising awareness about the importance of pollination, and strengthening management actions aimed at promoting regional biodiversity.
