The Role of Continuous Flowering Phenology for in Neotropical Plant-Pollinator Interactions for Use in Conservation
… is posited to result from a unique assemblage of plant species that produce the highest spatio-temporal predictability of food resources. A rare component of the Neotropical flora that contributes largely to the spatio-temporal predictability of food resources is found in understory shrub or …

Plant-pollinator relationships of culturally significant food and medicine plants in the Great Lakes Region
Wild plant and pollinator populations have experienced declines globally in recent years. While species declines have often been examined for their impacts ecologically and economically, little is known about how species declines will impact humans culturally. All Indigenous cultures in North …

Effects of temperature and pollinator availability on plant reproductive success in the Indiana spring ephemeral community
… is a key driver of phenology in both plants and insects, and even small changes in temperature can impact the reproductive success of insect-pollinated plants by influencing access to pollinator services. While it is well-established that temperature variation directly impacts the …

Impacts of shared pollinators and community composition on plant-pollinator interactions and their fitness consequences
… are prime examples of such complex systems. Plant-pollinator communities are characterized by extensive pollinator sharing among plant species. My dissertation explores some of the consequences of this reliance on shared pollinators on the structure of plant-pollinator interaction networks, …

Influence of Forest Management on Bumblebee-Plant Networks and Community Compositions in Eastern Kentucky Forest Openings
… of terrestrial ecosystems are reliant on animal pollinators to facilitate plant reproduction. Yet the integrity of these pollination services is threatened by the declines of pollinators. Mounting evidence indicates landscape homogenization in agricultural, urban, and most notably in natural …

THE ANTAGONISTIC AND MUTUALISTIC PLANT-INSECT INTERACTIONS OF PITCHER’S THISTLE (CIRSIUM PITCHERI [TORR. EX EAT.] TORR. & A. GRAY, ASTERACEAE), A FEDERALLY THREATENED GREAT LAKES DUNE AND COBBLE SHORE ENDEMIC PLANT
… used for integrated pest management of invasive plant species but it is not without risks to native plants. I researched the non-target impacts of the biological control agent, the seed head weevil Larinus planus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on the Great Lakes dune and cobble shore endemic …
