Welcome to the research website of Shalene Jha. Currently, I am a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Dept. of Environmental Science, Policy & Management at UC Berkeley, working with Claire Kremen.

Broadly, my research interests include landscape genetics, pollination ecology, native bee community ecology, and foraging ecology. More specifically, I am interested in examining how local and regional agro-ecological landscapes influence gene flow, foraging patterns, and population viability for native bees and the plants they pollinate. I am investigating a number of these topics within agro-ecological landscapes in California and Mexico.
