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.<br> <br>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. <br> </span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><br><br> </span></p><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">Join us this Thursday!</span></strong><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">August 12th, 2021</span></strong></span><br><strong><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">7-8 pm PT</span></strong></h3></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:#00b6c7;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td style="padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt;border-radius:8px"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=743dda4023&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank" title="Zoom link"><b><span style="color:white;letter-spacing:-.4pt;text-decoration:none">Zoom link</span></b></a> </span></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 6.75pt 0in 6.75pt;min-width:100%"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><img border="0" width="564" id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://mcusercontent.com/c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e/images/10836331-dfda-abc5-d815-8c140d73ddbb.png"></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td width="600" valign="top" style="width:6.25in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width:100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;word-break:break-word"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt"><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="color:black">Bio</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><br></span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Dr. Rachael Olliff-Yang is a plant ecologist, writer, and educator.

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.
