Dr. Kyle Bobiwash is an Assistant Professor and Indigenous Scholar in the Department of Entomology at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. He is based at the Fort Garry campus and conducts research on beneficial insects in agro-ecosystems, with a focus on pollinators and ecosystem services.
Education:
- PhD in Pollination Ecology, Simon Fraser University
- MS in Pollination Biology, McGill University
- BS (Hons) in Biomedical Science, University of Ottawa
His research spans pollinator ecology, landscape effects on insect communities, northern biodiversity, and the integration of Indigenous knowledge in sustainable agriculture. He teaches courses including World of Bugs, Pollinator Biology, and Indigenous Issues in Food Systems, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach.
The recent publications from his lab emphasize themes such as pollination in northern climates, managed pollinators, Indigenous land management, and the valuation of ecosystem services. His work bridges ecological science with community-based and culturally informed practices, particularly in First Nation agricultural contexts.
