Climate change is expected to cause mismatches between crops and the insects that pollinate them. These mismatches may be spatial i.e. areas where crops will be grown will not be the same areas that are suitable for pollinators; or temporal i.e. the peak flowering period of the crop will not coincide with the peak flight activity of the pollinators. This PhD will explore these key risks using apples and pears. Worldwide Fruit Limited estimates the annual value of its UK production of these two economically important top fruits at ~ £35m; but ecological and economic risks posed by probable future change are as yet unquantified particularly for emerging varieties.

气候变化预计会导致作物和授粉昆虫之间的不匹配。这些不匹配可能是空间上的，即作物生长的地区与适合传粉媒介的地区不同；或者是暂时的，即作物的花期高峰与传粉者的飞行活动高峰不一致。本博士将用苹果和梨来探讨这些主要的风险。世界水果有限公司估计，这两种经济上重要的顶级水果在英国的年产量约为3500万英镑；但是，未来可能发生的变化所带来的生态和经济风险尚未量化，特别是对新兴品种而言。
