Alpine pollinators are uniquely adapted to cold, dynamic environments, but face growing threats from climate change. This talk explores how temperature across climates, weather, and microclimates shapes pollinator activity in Australia's mountains, and what this means for their survival.

The bank in the foreground is edged with dry grasses and reeds, and contains a plastic crate holding a yellow portable pump hooked up by hoses to a floating sampling device resting on the water. On the opposite shore, gently sloping pasture is dotted with eucalyptus and other native trees under a partly cloudy sky
