Nigel Raine

Professor Nigel Raine is the Rebanks Family Chair in Pollinator Conservation at the University of Guelph. His research spans the fields of behaviour, ecology and conservation of pollinators, and includes investigating the impacts of environmental stressors (such as pesticide exposure) on wild bees. Nigel has been lucky enough to spend two decades investigating bees and their intimate relationships with flowers on three continents. Before moving to Canada in 2014, he studied at the University of Oxford, worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield and Queen Mary University of London, and held his first faculty position at Royal Holloway University of London.
