Biology Professor Richard Primack recently received two new National Foundation grants. The first for $242,000, “Phenological mismatch between trees and wildflowers mediated by environmental variability and plant invasions”, builds on the observations of Henry David Thoreau, and is a collaborative grant with colleagues from the Carnegie Museum and the University of Pittsburgh. The second grant for $277,526, titled, “The impacts of changing phenology on species, ecological interactions, and conservation”, is funded the NSF OPUS program, and will involve Primack and his former grad students writing review papers in climate change biology and making their data set publicly available.
