Mary M. Gardiner studies urban ecology, focusing on how cities affect insects (especially bees, spiders, and other arthropods), plants, and the interactions between them. Her recent work examines topics like pollution (heavy metals, artificial light), vacant land management, urban forestry, and pollinator conservation in post-industrial 'legacy' cities. This research is relevant to students interested in how urbanization and environmental stressors shape biodiversity and ecosystem function.
Publication output has remained fairly steady over the last decade, averaging around 5-9 papers per year with no strong upward or downward trend.
