2015 The Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship in Conservation Horticulture
Chelsea N. Miller is a Master’s candidate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Chelsea’s research focuses on factors promoting rarity in state-endangered understory herbs of the genus Trillium in eastern Tennessee and surrounding regions. She is comparing ant-seed dispersal and germination requirements between rare and common congeners in an effort to determine if differences in these factors lead to rarity in certain species. This research will inform conservation efforts and can be placed in the context of global change.
