SUMMARY:In The Life of Nocturnal Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Join Xerces pollinator conservation biologist Emily May to learn more about the pollinators that come out to work as others turn in for the evening. Moths\, flies\, beetles\, and other dusk and night-time pollinators can play important roles in pollinating wild and managed plants. Emily will talk about the ecology\, diversity\, and importance of these hidden pollinators\, and how we can best support them in our gardens and communities. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n\nEmily May – Pollinator Conservation Specialist\, Agricultural Lead – Xerces Society\nEmily May is a Pollinator Conservation Specialist with the Xerces Society’s Pesticide Program. She received a master’s of science in entomology from Michigan State University\, and has studied pollinator habitat restoration\, bee nesting habits\, and the effects of pest management practices on wild bee communities. Her work with Xerces since 2015 has focused on supporting crop pollinators through habitat creation and protecting bees and other beneficial insects from pesticides.

SUMMARY:Do Mosquito Control Programs Make You Safer?
DESCRIPTION:As scientists raise the alarm about the precipitous decline of insects\, the opposite trend is occurring with mosquitoes as populations are increasing despite aggressive control measures. During the past few years in Colorado\, West Nile virus infection in mosquitoes has been rising\, resulting in increasing deaths from West Nile virus that are reaching levels that we haven’t seen since the 2003 epidemic. \nThe City of Boulder hasn’t had the high levels of West Nile virus infection in mosquitoes that surrounding areas are experiencing. Why is there a difference? This webinar will describe the City of Boulder’s approach for managing mosquitoes by managing ecosystems and share the scientific rationale for why this approach is important\, not only to reduce disease risk to people\, but to have a positive impact on wetland insects\, birds\, amphibians\, and overall ecosystem health. \nRella Abernathy\, Ph.D.\, is a senior ecologist for the Climate Initiatives Department’s Nature-Based Climate Solutions team at the City of Boulder. Rella’s academic background is in insect physiology and plant/insect interactions. She worked at the EPA Region 10 pesticide program on pesticide alternatives and pesticide reduction policy. Over the last 15 years\, she’s managed the City of Boulder’s Integrated Pest Management program which is centered on an ecosystems management approach. Rella’s current role is developing programs and policies that build and expand climate-resilient landscapes in partnership with researchers\, community members\, NGO’s\, and others to equitably and inclusively implement nature-based climate solutions that conserve biodiversity and protect human health. \nRegister here today!  \nPhoto Credit: Katja Schulz/ Flickr
