Pollination Resilient Interactions (PRI): Resilience of plant-pollinator interactions in the face of climate change¶
- Research Question:
-
How have California droughts affected the structure and diversity of plant-pollinator interactions?
-
One interesting graphic/finding:
- Previous research has found that droughts may increase plant-pollinator interactions by reducing pollen and nectar production, so that pollinators need to visit plants more frequently.
-
What are you thinking about doing next with your team? Long-term, short-term?
- Long-term: Working group and publication
- Short-term: monthly or bimonthly Zoom meetings
-
What’s missing: what resources, people, data sets, etc. does your team need?
- We are welcoming more collaborators and considering starting a working group.
- We would welcome experts in drought to join the team.
- We are using iNaturalist image data to track plant-pollinator interaction occurrences.
- Anyone interested in pollination networks, diversity and their resilience should reach out to mill5773@umn.edu.
Reminder¶
There is the opportunity for groups to continue working on their projects as an ESIIL Working Group. If you love your team and want to continue working together, considering submitting a Working Group Application this fall. See the ESIIL website for more information: https://esiil.org/working-groups.
