Mark Brown

Mark Brown is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on conservation ecology, ecotoxicology, host-parasite interactions, social insects, and bees. He investigates the evolutionary ecology and conservation challenges of wild bees and their parasites, aiming to identify stressors affecting their populations and develop mitigation strategies. His work includes ecological fieldwork, parasitology, and genetics. Brown is also associated with the University Museum of Zoology and collaborates on research themes such as trypanosome-host infection dynamics.

Mark J F Brown is a Professor of Evolutionary Biology & Ecology and Director of the University Museum of Zoology at Cambridge University. His research focuses on Ecology, Evolution, Conservation Biology, and Social Insects, with a particular emphasis on pollinators and their conservation. His work explores the threats to pollinators, including the impact of agrochemicals, disease transmission, and invasive parasites. He investigates the genetic and ecological factors influencing bee populations and their interactions with pathogens. His research contributes to understanding the decline of bumblebees and the broader implications for ecosystem services.
