Department News
Papaj Lab's Research Gets A Spotlight in the New York Times!
The article (along with a short video) can be found here<http://arizona.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=db9ec68208a01ab34170f765f&id=aafeb6b4eb&e=71068ef53d>.
The overall idea of the research was that while bees must learn how to collect nectar from flowers, researchers in the Papaj Lab showed that they do not need experience in order to collect pollen (their other important nutrient) from flowers. This could suggest that, in terms of pollen, invasive plants or bees would be more easily served, since they are immediately pollinated or immediately able to access the nutrient. Congratulations to the Papaj Lab!

Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium
Saturday, October 8th  from 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM in Marley 230
The 13th annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium will feature invited speakers and posters presenting recent research on the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, University of Arizona Santa Rita Experimental Range and other outdoor laboratories in the region. There will be a poster session where students and researchers are encouraged to report on completed or in-progress studies. Time will be available for questions from the audience.

Student Poster Contest Awards:
Through a generous contribution from long-time supporter Mr. Malcolm McGregor, we are able to grant awards for outstanding student posters. A single poster award will be granted in each of the folloowing categories" Best Graduate Student Poster ($500), Honorable Mention Graduate Student Poster ($200), Best Undergraduate Student Poster ($300), Honorable Mention Undergraduate Student Poster ($100). To qualify for a poster award, the work presented on the poster must have been conducted in or have used data from the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW), the Santa Rita Experimental Range (SRER), or both. Entry to the contest appears in the registration process for the symposium. Note: Students in the competition will be asked to identify at least a 30 min window in which they will be at their poster during the poster session.

Registration: $10 for students; $25 for all others (lunch included)
The deadline for registration (as a courtesy for catering plans) is September 29th, 2016. Late registration will be accepted at the Symposium site from 8:30 - 9:00 AM. Five Continuing Education Units will be awarded from the Society for Range Management Certified Professional Range Managers. Submission deadline for poster presentation is September 22nd, 2016. (Note: Space may be limited; if this is the case, priority will be based on order of abstract submission.)
