WHAT: A meeting to discuss how to integrate basic pollination ecology with<br>
ongoing research and restoration efforts.<br>
WHEN: 1:30 - 4:30 pm, Tuesday April 9, 2013<br>
WHERE: SRER Headquarters, Florida Canyon (see attached directions)<br>
WHY: With changing climate conditions, pollination interactions are likely<br>
being disrupted and the resulting impact can have a cascading effect on<br>
community level processes. There are a number of research and restoration<br>
projects that are beginning and/or are active in southeastern Arizona<br>
relating to this topic. Our goal is to identify areas of mutual interest<br>
that will benefit our different projects and help build collaborations by<br>
having a broad discussion about basic pollination ecology and about how to<br>
detect the disruption of the pollination mutualism, what restoration actions<br>
might mitigate these disruptions, and how to assess the success of<br>
restoration efforts focused on conserving pollination interactions.<br>
<br>
Presentations:</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'"><br>
Introduction: Susan Wethington<span style="COLOR: black"> (5 min)<br>
A global look at pollination disruption: what do we know? Clare<br>
Aslan (ASDM) (15 min)<br>
Nectar, the currency of animal-pollination: what do we know?<br>
Claudia Rodriquez (UNAM) (15 min)<br>
Project Descriptions (Representatives of different projects, 5 mins<br>
per project) 20-25 minutes<br>
<br>
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:<br>
<br>
1) How can we evaluate whether pollination as a function has been disrupted?<br>
2) How does partial disruption affect plant and community function?<br>
3) What factors influence the vulnerability of various community components<br>
to pollination disruption?<br>
3) How can pollination function be restored to a given focal community?<br>
4) How can we best assess the success of pollination restoration/pollination<br>
conservation?<br>
