Miss Georgina Hollands MEcol Master of Ecology

Postgraduate Researcher in Tropical Ecology

Georgina Hollands is a Postgraduate Research Student within Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Southampton.

I graduated from the University of Southampton in 2017 with an Integrated Masters degree in Ecology. Over the course of my degree I carried out research into the cognitive abilities of honey bees with exposure to electromagnetic fields, and the impact of hurricanes on tropical ant communities.

PhD research

Title: The effect of stressors on bees: Land use change in the tropics and its impacts on bee diversity, diet, fitness, and behaviour.

Supervisors: Dr Jake Snaddon, Professor Suleiman Sharkh.

Project aims: This research hopes to provide a better understanding of how honey bee hives are influenced by surrounding tropical landscapes and the stressors within them, both through cognitive assays, pesticide analysis and dietary mechanisms.
