Ecology Economic Botany Reproductive Biology Fieldwork

The goal of this project is to understand how urbanization influences pollination services to plants at urban farms, and how this varies between plants with different pollination systems. Research will involve field work at urban farm sites conducting pollinator observations, pollination treatments, and measuring yield of focal plants.
