2023 The Keller Scholarship in Conservation Horticulture

Camera Trap Survey of Insect Pollinators of Encinitas Baccharis (Baccharis vanessae) in San Diego, California

Keatly’s research will explore a novel data collection method on pollinator interactions within the coastal sage scrub habitat in San Diego. Utilizing automated camera traps, Keatly will collect large data sets on possible pollinators of four Baccharis vanessae specimens within San Diego Botanic Garden's native plant section. Data will be analyzed through deep-learning, object- tracking software to facilitate easier and more accurate identification of insects. Data will provide insight on conservation methods for the federally threatened Baccharis vanessae.
