Thesis Title:
Pollination Biology of Hawaiian Scaevola


Personal Statement:
I am interested in the ecology, evolution and conservation of Hawaiian plants. I am particularly interested in examining interactions between plants and animals from an evolutionary perspective. My current research is focused on the pollination biology of Hawaiian Scaevola, encompassing investigations of foraging rates and behavior, characteristics of nectar production and mating systems.
