Daniel Stabler

Dr. Daniel Stabler is a Lecturer in Plant-Organism Interactions at the University of Southampton, focusing on plant-pollinator interactions and nutritional ecology. He supervises PhD students in Biological Sciences and actively accepts new PhD applications. His research explores pollinator nutrition, lipid metabolism, and floral resource utilization across multi-organism systems.

He is affiliated with the Plants and Food Security group, Precision Biosciences Innovation Hub, and the Institute for Life Sciences. His work combines biochemical analysis with ecological field studies to understand how environmental factors influence plant and insect physiology. Key projects include studying nectar chemistry, pollinator dietary regulation, and the impacts of air pollution on plant reproduction.

Dr. Stabler has published extensively on topics such as honeybee nutrient balancing, bumblebee macronutrient regulation, and the role of caffeine in enhancing pollinator memory. His methodologies include innovative approaches for analyzing small biological samples, advancing ecological research techniques.
