Current pollinator research is contributing to a more nuanced understanding of stressors in our changing world. Insect adaptations to these novel conditions, whether physiological or behavioral, involve trade-offs. This symposium will highlight the ways in which insects Transform to Adapt, and ultimately Advance in a changing world.
