معرفی
Justin Burdine serves as an Assistant Professor of Biology within Cornerstone University's School of Health, Science & Technology Education, teaching core courses in botany, zoology, and microbiology while integrating his passion for ecological conservation into pedagogy.
Academic Credentials:
- Ph.D. in Biology (Ecology), Bowling Green State University, 2019
- M.S. in Natural Resource Management (Conservation Ecology), University of Michigan, 2015
- B.S. in Environmental Science, University of Toledo
His research program centers on urban ecological systems, with primary emphases on pollinator conservation in built environments, sustainable urban food production networks, and biodiversity preservation within cities. Fieldwork examines how urbanization reshapes insect communities, physiological adaptations to anthropogenic stressors, and socio-ecological dynamics of community gardens.
Analysis of Dr. Burdine's publications (2014-2019) reveals consistent investigation into urbanization's ecological consequences, particularly regarding bee species in metropolitan settings. Key interdisciplinary themes span urban entomology, conservation physiology, and sustainable agriculture—connecting Toledo's community gardens to Mexican coffee agroecosystems through shared methodologies in biodiversity assessment and human-environment interactions.
Professional Engagement:
- Ecological Society of America member
