Biography

Adam Gregory Dolezal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Illinois. He is a broadly trained insect physiologist with a keen interest in how environmental stressors affect bee health. His research primarily focuses on the interactions between ecological stressors, including nutrition and viral pathogens, and their effects on pollinator health. Dolezal studies pollinators, specifically honey bees and wild bees, which play crucial roles in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting agriculture. His work is largely situated in Midwestern agroecosystems characterized by row crop agriculture. Utilizing a variety of approaches such as landscape ecology, ethology, physiology, and genomics, he aims to understand how field-relevant stressors contribute to bee population declines. Dolezal holds a PhD from Arizona State University, awarded in 2012, and a B.S. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, obtained in 2006.
