I'm so excited to share my master's research! Do pollinators change their foraging behavior depending on floral and ambient temperatures? Do flowers that thermoregulate experience higher rates of pollinator visitation? Check it out below! 🏡️

Floral shape and color impact heat accumulation and thermal stability of the floral microenvironment in a subalpine meadow Premise The floral thermal microenvironment impacts plant reproduction through its effects on gametophyte performance and plant–pollinator interactions. Color and shape are axes of floral variation ...

Poster from my joint Plant Bio seminar a few weeks ago! It was lovely getting to share how important herbaria are to understanding adaptation and how our local herbarium serves the MSU Community!
