Pollinator Diversity in a Bunchgrass Prairie Melissa McKenney Dr. Sujaya Rao, Dept. Crop and Soil Science Dr. Sandy DeBano, Dept. Fish and Wildlife

~70,000 acres

How can one determine pollinator diversity in such a large landscape? Problem:

Blue Vane Trapping 4 pastures 4 traps per pasture—16 traps per sample period Three sample periods— 48 traps total

319 Specimens

1896 Specimens

< < 4.6

B. bifarius B. flavifrons

P= P= P=<0.0001

Future Research Determine which pollinators depend on which plants and visa versa Determine annual and seasonal variation of pollinator species Use data to make conservation plans for pollinator species
