Biology Professor Richard Primack recently received two new National Science Foundation grants. The first grant, “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 titled, “The impacts of changing phenology on species, ecological interactions, and conservation”, is funded by the NSF OPUS program, and will involve Primack and his former graduate students writing review papers in climate change biology and making their data set publicly available.
