*"*The importance of flowering season duration and planting for pollinators
*"*


Talk Description


Flowering time in California follows patterns driven by the cool wet
winters and hot dry summers of our Mediterranean-type climate. The rapid
life cycles of our native invertebrate pollinators (including bees, flies,
and butterflies) are tightly in sync with these rhythms. However, climate
change is causing shifts in the timing and abundance of plants and
pollinators due to changes in temperature and moisture cues. These shifts
are straining mutualistic relationships and can lead to population decline.
Sufficient flowering resources across the season, as well as extended
flowering at the beginning and end of the season, may aid in supporting
plant-pollinator mutualisms.

In this talk, Rachael will discuss the mechanisms that influence the
flowering duration, and how strategic planting to extend flowering
time—whether in restorations, hedgerows, or garden settings—can support
both pollinator and plant populations.

Bio


Dr. Rachael Olliff-Yang is a plant ecologist, writer, and educator. Her
research focuses on plant flowering time and management strategies to
respond to climate change impacts. She is currently a science technical
support writer for the California Natural Resource Agency’s 30x30
initiative, and the communication specialist for the California Botanical
Society.

Rachael completed her Master’s degree in Biology at Humboldt State
University examining the timing of Beach pea (*Lathyrus littoralis*)
flowering and Silver bee (*Habropoda miserabilis*) nesting in the coastal
dunes. After examining the influences of climate change on this mutualism,
she was driven to explore potential management techniques to respond to
predicted impacts. This led her to her PhD work with David Ackerly at UC
Berkeley where she examined the influences of abiotic and biotic drivers of
flowering time. Rachael is passionate about conservation and making science
accessible to all.
