OverviewAI-generated summary

Harriet Lambert's research investigates the ecology, evolution, and conservation of social bees, with a particular focus on bee behavior and the mechanisms of plant-pollinator communication. During her PhD, she identified a novel behavior in bumblebees, where workers damage plant leaves using their mouthparts. Her work explored the triggers for this behavior and its impact on flowering time. As a postdoctoral researcher, Lambert examined the ecological significance of this behavior, including its fitness implications under food scarcity and bee preferences in natural settings.

Future research plans involve extensive fieldwork to study the effects of floral resource availability on bumble bee behavior, resource use, and reproduction within human-modified landscapes. Lambert is also committed to open science principles, science communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Her work has resulted in 3 publications with 80 citations and an h-index of 1. She collaborates with Rupesh Kariyat at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
