At the heart of Dr. Amy Toth's research is her desire to help save endangered native bee species. Her passion for conservation was sparked by a sabbatical in Argentina, during which she captured and studied the nearly extinct Patagonian bumble bee.
As a professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology at Iowa State University, she and her team use the advanced environmental control capabilities of Percival Scientific walk-in rooms to rear and study bumble bees throughout their entire colony cycle. Not only do the chambers allow the team to simulate seasonal temperatures, but they can also elevate temperatures to mimic climate change and study the impact on the queen and the colony's development.
Toth envisions bolstering populations of endangered bee species through captive rearing inside the chambers. "If we can bring them in the laboratory and then successfully rear large numbers of them, that could be used for reintroduction efforts in the wild, " she says. " ... And so I think everything that we do could contribute to these kinds of efforts in the future."
