Website for the research collaboration on the mathematics of pollinator decline, originating from the 2026 American Institute of Mathematics workshop Addressing Declining Pollinator Populations Through New Mathematics.
Built with Quarto. Published at https://yunkang2021.github.io/pollinatormodeling.github.io/.
Install Quarto (https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/), then:
quarto preview # live-reloading local preview
quarto render # build the full site into docs/Pushing to main triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml, which renders the site
and deploys it via GitHub Pages.
One-time setup in the repository settings: go to Settings → Pages and set
Source to GitHub Actions. No gh-pages branch is needed.

Add a news item. Open news.qmd and add a new ### Month Year — Headline
section at the top, followed by a short paragraph.
Add a publication. Add the entry to references.bib, then add a matching
bullet under the relevant heading in publications.qmd.
To switch publications.qmd to automatic BibTeX rendering instead of a manual
list, replace the body with:
::: {#refs}
:::
<!-- cite everything so it appears in the list -->
::: {.hidden}

:::Add a person. Add a row to the table in people.qmd.
Add a research page. Create research/your-page.qmd with a YAML header
containing title:, then add it to both the navbar menu and the sidebar
contents list in _quarto.yml.
The three accent colours are not decorative. They encode the bistable structure at the centre of the science: green for the healthy equilibrium, red for the extinction equilibrium, amber for the threshold that separates them. The homepage hero is a schematic of three colony trajectories relative to that threshold. Keep the accents tied to that meaning rather than using them as generic brand colours.
Type: Fraunces (display), IBM Plex Sans (body), IBM Plex Mono (labels, data,
eyebrows). All loaded from Google Fonts in _quarto.yml.
Page content is drawn from the workshop final report
(AIM_Workshop_Report-Long-v3-GDH-7May2026.docx). Where the report gives figures
or attributions, they have been carried over directly; the connective prose is
written for a web audience.
