Caity Sims will discuss the results of her thesis research project on tracking the reproductive phenology (the change in flowering and fruiting) of seven native, herbaceous plants found on Buck Island on the Lower Mississippi River. While most phenological
studies focus on shifts in climate over time, Caity's study focused on the phenological relationship with flooding along the elevation gradient of the island. You'll also hear about some of her exciting experiences about researching plants on the Lower Mississippi
River.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

from Southeast Missouri State University in 2019 with a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and Conservation. After graduation, she worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden's Litzsinger Road Ecology Center as a restoration intern where her passion and appreciation for
native plants grew. She started her M.S. in Biology at Arkansas State in Spring 2020 and spent the past two summers working on Lower Mississippi River islands conducting floras, assessing plant diversity, and tracking phenological shifts<o:p></o:p></span></p>
