This blog is a follow up from the 2009 Native Bee ID Training. At the Farm on Putah Creek. We hope that it will be used as a gateway from which to continue discussing questions that arise as we move forward with different pollinator projects. The pages to the right address questions on how to design, enhance and monitor habitat for native bees. Please visit each page and add your specific questions and comments. Kremen Lab, UC Berkeley.

Help us monitor bee populations. How do I ID the plant species? Distinguishing male- and female-phase flowers. Determining how long the plant has been in bloom. Questions and comments about learning the plants. Questions and comments about learning pollinators. Take the pollinator ID quiz! When should I do my observations? Questions and comments about field instructions.

The Xerces Society is a nonprofit organization that protects wildlife through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitat. For over forty years, the Society has been at the forefront of invertebrate protection worldwide, harnessing the knowledge of scientists and the enthusiasm of citizens to implement conservation programs.

I work broadly with the evolution and ecology of plant-herbivore interactions. I use such techniques as chemical analysis of plant phenotypes, field and laboratory experiments, and comparative biology to understand how plant defenses evolve, how they work, and how herbivores overcome them. The major themes of my research fall under the categories below. Predicting the use of non-native plants by native herbivores. The evolution of plant defensive traits in oaks.
