Wildflowers can limit the amount of pollen deposited on each bee visitor
Many plant species depend on animals such as bees to transfer pollen from flower to flower. This dependence on bees is risky because they can consume pollen rather than transferring it to another flower. Plants can reduce this risk by limiting the amount of pollen deposited on each successive bee visitor.
Congratulations to Zach Teitel, winner of a Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement from NSERC!
This NSERC scholarship will allow Zach to spend next summer in North Carolina, where he will be working with a researcher from North Carolina State University to study the evolution of herbicide resistance in the agricultural weed Amaranthus palmeri.
Integrative biology researchers identify key challenges for the future of northern ecosystems
Integrative Biology’s Dr. Merritt Turetsky and Dr. Kevin McCann have published an invited paper for the 20th anniversary of Ecosystems, a journal that features research bridging fundamental ecology, environmental ecology and environmental problem-solving.
Dr. Turetsky and her colleagues put together a roadmap outlining key challenges and questions for the future scientific study of northern ecosystems.
