Altered precipitation patterns associated with anthropogenic climate change are expected to have many effects on plants and insect pollinators, but it is unknown if pollination mediated by changes in water availability. We tested the hypothesis that impacts of plant-pollinator interactions operate through availability, specifically such occur alteration floral attractants. manipulated availability two naturally occurring Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae) populations using addition, reduction...
Summary Land managers choose seed from a variety of provenances for restoration projects. By selecting the local ecotype, can increase establishment in short term and prevent disruption adaptations genetic swamping long term. However, may be disadvantageous if populations are inbred or maladapted to managed environments. Seed selection further confounded by propagation methods. Three dominant C 4 grasses, Andropogon gerardii , Bouteloua curtipendula Sorghastrum nutans, three types (remnant,...
Premise Flowering time may influence pollination success and seed set through a variety of mechanisms, including seasonal changes in total pollinator visitation or the composition effectiveness visitors. Methods We investigated mechanisms by which flowering phenology reproductive Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae). manipulated onset potted plants assessed frequency visitors, as well set. tested whether floral visitors differed their pollinators measuring pollen receipt resulting from single...
Floral color plays a key role as visual signaling and is therefore of great importance in shaping plant-pollinator interactions. Iris (Iridaceae), genus comprising over 300 species named after the Greek goddess colorful rainbow, famous for its dazzling palette flower colors patterns, which vary considerably both within among species. Despite large variation Iris, little known about phylogenetic ecological contexts floral color. Here, we seek to resolve evolution macroevolutionary framework....
Abstract Species that persist in small populations isolated by habitat destruction may experience reproductive failure. Self‐incompatible plants face dual threats of mate‐limitation and competition with co‐flowering for pollination services. Such lower pollinator visitation, increase heterospecific pollen transfer reduce the likelihood a visit results successful pollination. To understand how isolation from mates species contribute to failure fragmented habitat, we conducted an observational...
This study is the first to compare homeownership outcomes of Individual Development Account (IDA) homebuyers with other low-income homebuyers. The IDA purchased homes in 16 states funds between 1999 and 2007. We both loan terms foreclosure for homebuyer sample comparison groups who same counties during time period. find that were more likely receive government-insured loans less high interest rate or subprime than Further, we cumulative rates one-half one-third communities. Overall, findings...
Climate change is likely to alter both flowering phenology and water availability for plants. Either of these changes alone can affect pollinator visitation plant reproductive success. The relative impacts water, whether they interact in their on success remain, however, largely unexplored. We manipulated soil moisture a factorial experiment with the subalpine perennial Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae). examined responses floral traits, abundance, visitation, composition visits by bumblebees...

PPE is an integral part of reducing transmission COVID-19. We assessed a 5-week pilot project utilising health science student volunteers as coaches in the adult and paediatric emergency department (ED) during pandemic. were provided with training, checklist, area for written observations, feedback surveys. Overall, correct use improved over time. Coaches felt safe, that training was adequate, team. Factors contributed to effectiveness included institutional support, role clarification,...
This pilot project addressed converging needs of students, medical educators, health care workers and IPC QI champions. It effectively involved students in a novel quality improvement initiative during the early days COVID-19 pandemic provides an example creative solution to engage safely continue learning while being service.
