Her research interests span agri-environmental science, pollination ecology, integrated pest management, and mobile learning technologies. She investigates insect behavior in agricultural systems, particularly pollen beetles, and develops strategies for sustainable pest control. Concurrently, she pioneers the use of mobile devices and citizen science in fieldwork education, enhancing pedagogical practices in higher education.
Her recent publications reflect a dual focus: on one hand, ecological and agricultural challenges such as pest dynamics, pollination services, and biodiversity monitoring; on the other, educational innovations involving BYOD, iPads, and personalized learning. This interdisciplinary approach bridges natural and social sciences, contributing to both sustainable farming and effective science education.
Dr. Mauchline has received no explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text.
She has not listed any formal advisees in the publications, but has collaborated extensively with colleagues across ecology, entomology, and education. She has contributed to major research initiatives on agri-environmental evaluation and pollination services. Her work includes developing tools like the Agri-environmental Footprint Index and the CropPol database, and she is involved in projects integrating robotics and inclusion in agriculture.
She is active in research groups focused on fieldwork pedagogy, citizen science, and sustainable agroecosystems, often collaborating with interdisciplinary teams across the UK and Europe.
