AZ Native Plant Society Meeting

 

The Arizona Native Plant Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Flagstaff AZNPS Talk: Liza Holeski - Plant defenses against herbivores

Time: Sep 21, 2021 07:00 PM Arizona

Liza Holeski will give a general overview of plant defenses against herbivory, describing the forms of defense as well as highlighting some particularly interesting examples. She will also talk a bit about her research in plant defense in monkeyflowers, as she works with a number of natural populations of monkeyflowers in Arizona.

Liza Holeski is an Associate Professor in Biology at NAU. Her research focuses on plant evolutionary ecology and genetics. She is interested in plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic environmental factors, plant-herbivore interactions, and the evolutionary genetics of plant defense traits. Much of her work is in monkeyflowers, but she also works with Populus species.

Arizona Native Plant Society talks are free and open to the public.
