Welcome Darin Butz Interns!

The lab hosts two amazing Darin Butz summer interns, Olivia and Josh! Olivia is exploring plant-pollinator interactions with Grace and Josh is working on phenotypic variation of hybrids

Bridget studies the developmental basis of ovule number variation in Phlox genus

Bridget collects Phlox nivalis (SC), P. buckleyi (VA), and P. longifolia (WA) to study the developmental basis of ovule number variation in the Phlox genus

Bridget received the Putnam Grant for fieldwork

Bridget is awarded a Putnam Grant from the Harvard University Herbaria for Phlox summer fieldwork

A successful field season in Texas!

A successful field season spent in Texas quantifying pollination of phlox drummondii. Congrats Grace, Austin, Izzy & Robin!

Congrats Robin! Check out her paper on pollinator behavior published in Ecology and Evolution.

Cheers to Robin on her new paper published in Ecology and Evolution, which discusses her predictions on pollinator behavior causing reproductive isolation. Check it out here!

Cheers to Meghan and Robin! Check out their paper on plant carbohydrate storage published in New Phytologist.

Congrats to Megan and Robin for their new paper out in New Phytologist, which discusses plant carbohydrate storage and how intra- and inter-specific trade-offs of reveal a major life history trait. Check it out here!

Cheers to Grace and Robin! Find out the missing link between plants and their pollinators.

Congrats to Grace and Robin on their new paper published in American Journal of Botany, which discusses connecting the structure of plant and pollinator population. Check it out here!
