Comparing Plant-Pollinator Phenological Mismatches in Alpine and Lowland Habitats of Northern California
Laura A. Lampe is a master’s student at California State University, Chico. She is interested in how mismatches develop between the timing of plant flowering and pollinator activity. Her project utilizes over 100 years of herbarium and insect collection records to compare long-term shifts in alpine and lowland communities. Climatic shifts can disrupt ecologically important relationships, and these community changes may be distinct in alpine areas, which are understood to be especially sensitive to climate change. Investigating the potential for misalignment of plant-pollinator life history events, especially in communities at risk of habitat loss, will aid in predicting future impacts on crucial species interactions.
