New! We've started fieldwork for the 2009 growing season. Check out our field blog to read what we are up to. We'll kick into high gear on June 15th!
We posted photos of prairie insect specimens from our collection, including many bees that pollinate Echinacea. There are more to come, but we wanted to share what we have available!
We have hired field researchers for summer 2009. Please visit our opportunities page this fall to read about summer internships for 2010.
Starting in fall 2009, we will be looking for high school science teachers to conduct cutting-edge field research in ecology and evolution and design research activities for high school science students. Read about this paid opportunity for summer 2010.
We had a paper published in the July issue of The American Naturalist. It's freely available at the Am Nat website and on the Echinacea Project's Resources page.
Read about our many research endeavors during summer 2007 and our seedling growth experiments in spring 2006.
