Catch these Yoder Lab presentations at ESA 2024 in Long Beach this week

The next scientific conference featuring Yoder Lab research is already underway, but it’s a good deal closer to our home base than Montréal — the Ecological Society of America annual meeting in Long Beach, California. Here’s where you can see the very latest research on Joshua trees and their pollinators, considerably less than two hours from the beach:

• Grad student Pryce Millikin will present a poster outlining his progress on modeling the climate niche of the yucca moths that pollinate Joshua trees in the poster session starting 5:00 pm Tuesday, at poster position PS 32-170;
• Postdoc Lea Richardson will present her work with the Joshua Tree Genomic Inventory data on Wednesday at 9:00 am, as part of the Climate Change: Plants section in room 103A, and;
• PI Jeremy Yoder will present just-published results identifying the weather conditions that prompt Joshua tree’s mass-flowering “masting” events on Wednesday at 10:45 am, as part of the Climate Change: Plants section in room 103A.
