👋 Meet Molli Thibodeau! This summer, Molli joined our researchers W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. Working with Katherine Hulting in Nick Haddad's lab, she researched how #bioenergy #prairies affect our plant-pollinators 🐝 🐞 Read more about Molli's #GLBRCSummer here: buff.ly/3YBonHm

Species interactions play an important role in ecosystems. How does habitat fragmentation change interaction networks? New digest highlights research on plant-aphid-ant networks in fragmented habitat 🐜 conservationcorridor.org/digests/2023/1…

Forest edges often have unique environmental conditions. Will edge effects change under climate change? New digest highlights how forest edges and climate shift plant phenology 🌳conservationcorridor.org/digests/2023/1…

We have three REU positions to study habitat fragmentation and corridor effects on plant-insect interactions. Conduct research with Thomas AH Smith Katherine Hulting and a great team of scientists The Corridor Project Apply now! damschenlab.zoology.wisc.edu/2024/01/15/hir…

New paper led by Katherine Hulting shows restoration with diverse seed mixes originating from one geographic location increases floral abundance, and effects propagate through the food web.
