Pollinator Attraction Citizen Science Program Katie Villano Spellman Christa P.H. Mulder Department of Biology and Wildlife University of Alaska Fairbanks

The Melibee Project  Overarching research goal: Investigate the impact of invasive white sweetclover on the pollination of blueberry and cranberry

Phenology: a geographic mosaic of interactions? V. vitis-idaea flowering Melilotus flowering V. vitis-idaea flowering Melilotus flowering Impacts +, 0 or - +

Risk Models for Alaska  Determine the extent of berry plant and sweetclover flowering times overlap in different parts of Alaska  Predict vulnerability of berry harvest to impact by invasive plants in changing climate

The Melibee Project  Our approach: - Historical data from herbarium records - Current data from citizen monitoring Cranberry specimen from the University of Alaska Museum of the North herbarium Label on a herbarium sample dating back to Monitoring lowbush cranberry in Fairbanks.

Historical Data  Alaska data

Current Data  Citizens monitor reproductive phenology of focal species across Alaska Citizen Science! Mary Gregory, Kuskokwim River Watershed Council Elder Teachers from Valdez Melilotus albus Vaccinium vitis-idaea Vaccinium uliginosum

Pollinator Attraction Citizen Science Program Attributes:  Online access to protocols, research reports, training webinar and data reporting alaska.edu/melibee-project/

Pollinator Attraction Citizen Science Program Attributes:  Communicating results through newsletter  Play with data and interactive map on website

Summer 2012 outcomes:  89 Volunteers (youth and adults)  354 observations  50 monitoring sites Monitoring locations 2012 (white text)and new locations committed for 2013 (yellow text)

 2 rural schools,  10 educators,  1 youth camp,  5 families,  5 interested individuals,  6 conservation agencies,  3 nature centers,  11 biologists,  1 tourist program Most observations (72!), Seth Beaudreault, Toolik Program Outcomes 2012 Least plants observed (only one sweetclover is in the whole village!), Innoko River School, Shageluk Youngest Scientist, Fiora Graziano, age 5 Anchorage

More to do…  Recruit more volunteers  Gather more data  Collect climate station data for all herbarium and citizen science location  Create models under different scenarios  Create interaction maps
