Dr. Lola Virág Kiss - MATE Research
Overview
<Dr. Miklós Sárospataki is an associate professor at the Department of Zoology and Ecology, Institute for Wildlife Management and Nature Conservation. He serves as head of the Department of Zoology and Ecology.
His research focuses on pollinators, especially wild bees, mostly on bumblebees.
Dr. Miklós Sárospataki's work contributes to the conservation biology and ecology of bees, and to the assessment of the effects of pollinator diversity loss at local and landscape scales.
His research has investigated the effects of neonicotinoids on bees, the vulnerability of wild bee species in Hungary, the effectiveness of wildflower strips on pollinator diversity, and the effects of landscape structure on pollinators, particularly in agricultural landscapes.
Dr. Miklós Sárospataki played a pioneering role in the development of the red list of Hungarian bumblebees and megachilid bees, thus contributing significantly to the conservation of wild bees in Hungary.
He authored and co-authored 68 research articles in high-impact scientific journals.
Dr. Miklós Sárospataki has collaborated with several research groups across Hungary and Europe, and he has successfully applied for about 8 research grants nationally and internationally. He won the prestigious MTA Bolyai János Research grant and the SZIE Grassalkovits grant.
