Summer Environmental StudyColleen Smith
2015 The Caroline Thorn Kissel Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship
Colleen Smith is a Ph.D. candidate in Ecology and Evolution at Rutgers University. She will study the effects of deer herbivory of flowering plants on pollinator communities in a deciduous forest in New Jersey. Populations of white-tailed deer in the eastern United States have drastically increased in size over the last century, devastating forest understories, including the flowering plants that pollinators rely on for food. Colleen will sample plant-pollinator communities along a deer density gradient to better understand which pollinator species are most at risk.
