Name: Young, Brenda (Researcher)
Institution: Daemen College
Description of Expertise:
Current research focuses on ecological impact of invasive flowering plants on the pollinator community and native plant species. Specifically, I am interested in whether the presence of the invasives may alter pollinator activity and reproductive success of the native flowering plants.
