Understanding How Flowering Plants Respond to Climate Change
We're on the cover of New Phytologist! Or rather, one of our lowbush cranberry plants is...
December 2021: the first Winterberry data paper is now available!
Berries in Winter: a Natural History of Fruit Retention in Four Species Across Alaska by Mulder, Spellman and Shaw.
It is in a special issue of Madroño on Phenological Patterns in the Flora of Western North America and shows off all the hard work of the participants in our Winterberry Project.
October 2021: new publication:
Schwoerer, T., K.V. Spellman, T.J. Davis, O. Lee, A. Martin, C.P.H. Mulder, N.Y Swenson, A. Taylor, and G. Winter. 2021. Harnessing the power of community science to address data gaps for Arctic observing: invasive species in Alaska as case examples. Arctic, 74 (5): supplement 1. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic73773
This paper includes our Melibee citizen science project as a case study.
October 2021: Learn about Microberry, a collaboration with microbiologist Mario Muscarella:
New CASC Microberry Project Kicks Off
This is a component of a new project called Alaska's Berry Futures, funded by the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC). The PIs are Christa, Mario, Katie Spellman, and Malinda Chase.
September 2021: A new publication from a collaboration between the Mulder and Diggle labs:
High latitude perennial plants form their flower buds at least a year before flowering. Ever wondered what that looks like? Or whether development of bud primordia is sensitive to development? Find out here in this collaboration between an ecologist and two developmental morphologists!
September 25, 2020: Christa was featured in the "Scientist Spotlight" of the Budburst newsletter from the Chicago Botanic Garden: Budburst September 2020
September 22, 2020: Listen to a live interview with Christa and Bruce Bennett on the CBC's Yukon Morning: Late Bloomers in the Yukon and Alaska

Patterns of pollen and resource limitation....
July 14, 2020: Listen to a KNBA report in which Katie and Christa talk about how a changing climate might affect timing of flowering and fruiting of berry plants:
Researchers take on berry timing amid climate change
The audio was an excerpt from an ACCAP webinar Katie and Christa gave on July 7, 2020. You can watch the whole webinar here:
