Outline of Annual Research Achievements	Modelling analysis was completed in late 2020, and written into a manuscript now in the final stages of preparation. We plan submission of the core manuscript of this study in mid 2021. An additional spin-off manuscript is also being prepared based on an analytical model which will be used to explore extensions of the original model which arose during model testing. Another paper has been published in early 2021 based on a simulation modelling approach developed during the tenure of the candidate and further collaborative paper is in review. Future collaboration is planned between the host and post-doctoral candidate beginning with an ongoing project modelling pollinator networks.
