Bowers, Michael A. Sponsor: U.S. Department Of Agriculture

Collaborative Research: Contribution of Specialist Pollinators to Generalist Plants
Roulston, T'ai H. Sponsor: U.S. National Science Foundation
Monitoring data on changes in pollinator visitation and resources in the floral community will be key information needed to differentiate if specialist pollinators are consistently better pollinators ...

Collaborative Research: Does Mating-system Evolution Constrain the Adaptive Evolution of other Traits
Carr, David E. Sponsor: U.S. Nsf - Directorate For Biological Sciences
This study will examine how selection on mating-systems affects adaptive evolution in the mixed-mating Mimulus guttatus. This species has been widely used as a model-system for studies in mating-system ...

Collaborative Research: Ecological Consequences of Inbreeding in Plants for Plant-Herbivore Interactions (RET)
Carr, David E. Sponsor: U.S. Nsf - Directorate For Biological Sciences
More than half of all plant species self-pollinate at least 20% of the time and almost all species studied suffer reduced fitness as a result of inbreeding. Despite decades of intensive, detailed studies ...
