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.

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.
