Theory, data, and the statistical approaches for integrating them have become increasingly quantitative and sophisticated over time. With a focus on the structure and dynamics of plant-pollinator interactions, the goals for this workshop are to introduce participants to the theory underlying metrics of network structure, the statistical methods for fitting mechanistic models to data, and the mathematical tools that enable inferences regarding community dynamics.

When: TBD (probably early September, 2028)

Where: Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory

Applications due: TBD (around Feb 15th, 2028)

Having run three consecutive iterations of this workshop in 2024, 2025, and 2026 with the support of the NSF, we are actively seeking funding to continue being able to offer it at a reasonable cost to participants. We hope to be able to offer it again in 2028. Please contact us to express your interest.
