EEB Museums Friday Seminar - Deer Impacts on Plant Communities in Ann Arbor Natural Areas

How are deer affecting plants and community processes in Ann Arbor? Jacqueline will present an overview of key findings from three different studies focused on oak seedlings, trilliums, and other wildflower species over the past three years. She will review findings from additional projects covering a range of other species, and will also present preliminary data on how deer may indirectly affect pollinators and other wildlife through reducing available resources (such as flowers and seeds).
