Tucker, groundbreaking researcher of hybrid zones in house mice, retires
During retirement, Tucker said, “I hope to volunteer my time with local conservation groups in the Midcoast region of Maine. I plan to travel (and hike) and spend more time with family and friends in a post-pandemic world!”
RESEARCH FEATURE
Bees are abuzz over sweet nectar with a pinch of salt
University of Michigan Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Nathan Sanders and his colleagues set out to test whether pollinators have a taste for salt in flower nectar.
Their fascinating results were published March 2, 2022 in Biology Letters. Researchers have done similar investigations with one or two species, but this is the first time it's been tested across multiple species in a natural environment.
We strive to support our students and faculty on the front lines of learning and research and to steward our planet, our community, our campus. To do this, EEB needs your support.
