Did the Pollinator Cross the Road?: Plant-Pollinator Ecology and Wildflower-Population Connectivity in Roadside Verges of the Piedmont Region of North Carolina
McNear’s research will focus on the ecology of roadside wildflower populations by measuring genetic connectivity, observing insect pollinators, and testing pollen transfer in roadside habitats. The research goal is to explore the potential conservation value of verge habitats for native grassland wildflowers.
