BotanyLaura Frost
2016 The Garden Club of America Fellowship in Tropical Botany
Laura Frost is a PhD candidate in the Biology Department at the University of Washington. Her research will study the fiddlewood genus (Citharexylum) for evolutionary relationships and biogeographic patterns. (Citharexylum) has a history of migration and adaptation to new biomes throughout the Neotropics. Extensive sampling from Ecuador will improve understanding of how biogeographic events, such as the uplift of the Andes, are associated with patterns of diversification.
Funded by the Arundel Scholarship
