Impressive venue for Dr. Chris Cosma to deliver a talk about our pollination network research on MPG Ranch. More evidence that moths rival bees in pollination services. The talk was well-received (not surprising being at a butterfly/moth conference), and we are excited to see the paper in publication soon.
