Representing more than 20,000 species globally, wild bees exhibit striking variation in morphology, physiology, and behaviour, that enabled them to thrive in diverse climates across all major terrestrial ecosystems. Despite this diversity, our understanding of bee climate responses is drawn overwhelmingly from studies on a handful of managed species. My research explores the functional traits that underlie variation in wild bee responses to climate stressors. These studies offer insights into the ways bee communities will be filtered and reshaped by future climates. A central theme in my research is leveraging images—from citizen science photos to museum specimen images and 3D models—to investigate bee functional ecology under different environmental conditions. I develop computer vision tools to standardise and automate image analysis for ecological research and biodiversity monitoring. Together, these studies highlight signatures of climate resilience and climate vulnerability in this functionally rich and ecologically important pollinator group.
