AgriPop Friday Talks

Friday's Agripop Talk - 29 March 2013
Hey, we've got a busy day ahead -- 2 talks on the same day!
29 March 2013 - 11:00 - Salle Seminaire
Learning trophic networks : apprehending patterns and generalities from real data
David Bohan
Who eats whome and how to find this out without the need to actually observe the act of predation, or without the need of lengthy analysis of the diet -- just come and listen how David uses commonly available distribution and abundance data to infer trophic relationships between carabid beetles and weeds in arable farmlands.

David worked until recently in the UK at Rothamsted, after which he moved to Dijon to take up a IINRA DR1 position.
 
Lindy Mary Corredores Hurtado

Bees and their landscape: mapping the distribution of floral resources in agricultural landscapes and their use by wild bees 




Lindy will present us her sampling plan for mapping the distribution of wild flower resources, especially of poppy flowers, and assess their use by domestic bees. Please come all and help out Lindy - she'll be keen to hear your feedback and advise!

And, what better way to finish the week listening to a talk about bees and wild flowers ... just before pub time??? :-) So, see you all there et bon weekend!
