Madeleine Strait

My research focuses on how flowering plants and insect pollinators in subalpine meadows respond to environmental change. I use a combination of field experiments and molecular techniques to understand the impacts of local and global climate on patterns of plant-pollinator interactions. I am currently studying how changes in plant phenology and spatial distributions may affect future assemblies of plant-pollinator communities at Mount Rainier National Park.
