Wed 1/18 @ 7PM
Brush up on your knowledge of the natural world w/ the 2011-2012 Scientist Lecture Series @ Holden Arboretum. The topic on Wed 1/18 is Matchmaking in the Meadow – How Pollinators Affect Plant Mating Patterns. Go!
About: “Plants can’t move, but still must somehow locate and mate with other plants in order to reproduce. Most plants achieve this by enticing mobile animal pollinators to move pollen among flowers. But do the pollinators do what is best for the plants? Learn some of the ways that monkey flower plants ensure that pollinators visit them, and that their pollen moves to suitable mates.”
