** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPES OFTEN OFFER POOR BEE HABITAT DUE TO A LACK OF FORAGE AND NESTING SITES, AND FREQUENT PESTICIDE USE. SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING PROGRAMS AIM TO INCREASE THE NUTRITIONAL QUALITY OF RESIDENTIAL LAND BY PRESCRIBING MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SUCH AS ESTABLISHING NATIVE WILDFLOWERS AND AVOIDING PESTICIDES. NEARLY 200 PROGRAMS EXIST IN THE U.S., BUT THEIR ECOLOGICAL VALUE FOR BEE CONSERVATION IS POORLY UNDERSTOOD. MOREOVER, THESE PROGRAMS MAY UNINTENTIONALLY INCREASE THE ABUNDANCE OF DISEASE-VECTORING MOSQUITOESBY PROVIDING PESTICIDE-FREE NECTAR AND HARBORAGE SITES. IN CONTRAST, MUNICIPAL AND HOMEOWNER INVESTMENTS TO CONTROL MOSQUITOES WITH PESTICIDES ARE LIKELY DETRIMENTAL TO POLLINATORS. THIS PROPOSAL WORKS FROM THE HYPOTHESIS THAT CURRENT GREENING INITIATIVES AND MOSQUITO CONTROL EFFORTS ARE MISALIGNED SUCH THAT EFFORTS TO SUPPORT POLLINATORSUNINTENTIONALLYINCREASE MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASE RISK,WHILE MUNICIPAL PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC HEALTH NEGATIVELY IMPACT POLLINATORS. WE TEST THIS HYPOTHESIS BY FIRST EVALUATING WHETHER AN INCREASED CONCENTRATION OF GREENING WITHIN A LANDSCAPE POSITIVELY INFLUENCES WILD BEE HEALTH, MOSQUITO ABUNDANCE AND WEST NILE VIRUS PREVALENCE (OBJ. 1). NEXT, WE WILL EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF VECTOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS BY MUNICIPAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATORS ON BEE HEALTH AND MOSQUITO ABUNDANCE (OBJ 2). FINALLY, WE WILL MEASURE THE EFFICACY OF MOSQUITO-SPECIFIC TRAPS TO REDUCE MOSQUITOES WITHOUT HARMING POLLINATORS AND ASSESS THE LIKELIHOOD THAT HOMEOWNERS WILL ADOPT THIS TACTIC (OBJ. 3). BY WORKING WITH ADIVERSE STAKEHOLDER TEAM, WEWILL DISSEMINATE OUR FINDINGS THROUGHEXTENSION ACTIVITIES AND THEREBY HELP TO ALIGN EFFORTS TOSUPPORT POLLINATOR AND PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH.
