Bio/Research

Raine joined U of G as the inaugural holder of the Rebanks Family Chair in Pollinator Conservation, the first research chair of its kind in Canada. He is a global leader in the fields of behaviour, ecology and conservation of pollinators, and has spent much of the last decade working on the impacts of environmental stressors (such as pesticide exposure) on wild bees.

Before moving to Canada in 2014, he studied at the University of Oxford, worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield and Queen Mary University of London, and held his first faculty position at Royal Holloway University of London.

Raine has been an adviser and expert witness for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Agroecology; the Advisory Committee on Pesticides; the Environment Audit Committee (a select committee of the U.K. Parliament); the National Action Plan for pesticides; and the Pollinator Conservation Delivery Group. He also advised the European Food Safety Authority.

He is a fellow of both the Royal Entomological Society and the Linnean Society of London.
