Speaker Profile

​Dr Peter Kennedy is a research Fellow at the University of Exeter and his research looks at ecosystem service provision by insects, with particular emphasis on pollinator ecology and behaviour. He works to establish techniques and capabilities for cutting-edge research into the effects of environmental change on invertebrates. He also develop new projects linking ecosystem service provision with landscape users and businesses.
