Fritillaria - A feast for bumblebees - Guest: Katarzyna Roguz, University of Warsaw Botanic Garden
Katarzyna Roguz, researcher at the University of Warsaw Botanic Garden has studied Fritillaria meleagris since she started doing research during her Bachelor thesis and through her Masters and PhD theses at the University of Warsaw and her recent postdoc at Tel Aviv University, Israel. She has dedicated her research to the pollination biology of Fritillaria meleagris, F. persica and recently F. imperialis. I had the pleasure to have Katarzyna as my podcast guest and we talked about
- Why F. meleagris is so important for bumblebees
- How pollination biology studies are carried out
- Why plants may adjust self-(in)compatibility depending on where they grow
- That even birds can be important for Fritillaria imperialis pollination
- Why planted Fritillaria imperialis in the city centre of Warsaw is an interesting study object for pollination biology
