Просмотров 1849 месяцев назад
In special springs, when the winter rains have been plentiful, nature throws an exuberant party with wildflowers as the guests of honor. The unpredictability of these special shows makes them all the more precious. This spring may bring some surprises as the rains came late but have been abundant. We’ll look at various germination strategies of the ephemerals and how flowers and their pollinato...

The Natural History of Pollination in the Desert Southwest (and Beyond) with Dr Judith Bronstein
Просмотров 151Год назад
All organism reproduce - and among organisms, plants reproduce in the most diverse ways. Reproduction takes place via flowers that range from the size of a pinhead to the size of a teenager. Some plants make flowers but then fertilize only themselves. Most, however, require pollen to be moved between flowers, a feat accomplished by wind, water, and animals ranging from insects to fish to birds ...
Arizona Fireflies and Related Groups by Joe Cicero

But fireflies in Arizona? Believe it or not - yes! Dr. Joe Cicero will discuss the three kinds of fireflies that occur in our state, the life cycles of these insects, how they communicate by way of luminescenc...

Mesquite Mysteries: form, function, and restoration of riparian bosques
Просмотров 1952 года назад
Speakers: Gita Bodner and Collin Gillespie Mesquites are some of the most flexible and adaptable plants on the planet, with the same species capable of growing as tall forest trees, or knee-high thorny shrubs. This flexibility has led to confusion among researchers and conflict among land managers. Forests of large spreading mesquite trees once sheltered the floodplain terraces of rivers across...

KILLING INVASIVE EXOTIC PLANTS TO SAVE NATIVE BIRDS: Presented by Jonathan Horst
Просмотров 972 года назад
The lives of birds and many other organisms are intricately intertwined with native plants for food and shelter. We’ll explore some of the specific deleterious impacts that non-native plants have on local birds-from wholesale landscape conversions as a result of inappropriate fires, to energetic stresses that come from foraging on too-small seeds and too-few insects, to the food-deserts of typi...
In the Arms of Saguaros: Iconography of the Giant Cactus Presented by Larry Bird
Просмотров 1832 года назад
The quintessential image of “cactus” and of “desert” in the minds of most people is Carnegiea gigantea, our beloved saguaro. How has this one relatively restricted plant species come to bear the burden of so many expectations and assumptions? In this talk, Larry Bird will draw from his recent book, In the Arms of Saguaros: Iconography of the Giant Cactus, to discuss the history of the saguaro c...
The Native Bees of Arizona - Presented by Kathryn Busby
Просмотров 4803 года назад
Arizona is home to an astounding diversity of bees; with well over 1200 species, it is arguably the most bee-diverse region on the globe. Arizona’s native plants depend on this bee diversity for pollination. Many of Arizona’s bees are specialist pollinators, and some of them are rare or range-limited. Unfortunately, native bees are in decline. Fortunately, the causes of this decline are within ...

Bill Peachy on the future of Saguaros
I would love some information about making the habitat more inviting for them. I have a lovely bunch right here on my creek in cornville. Last night was our first night' I saw them. I saw about 8 or 10. And I would love to make sure I have the right grass or whatever planted down there on the creek that they would enjoy. Blessings
A great presentation with helpful information especially with the difference between how native trees grow as apposed to trees that grow in the east or north.
Although I am mostly interested in arthropods, and not so much in plants, this presentation makes me feel lucky to live in Santa Cruz County, where I plan to stay upon retirement. Thank you for sharing, Jim and AZNPS!
I'm so glad this was posted! I just wanted to say about the bee hotels, I would very much warn against the cheap bee hotels. Many are made from bamboo which doesn't dry well and mine definitely started growing black mold despite our lack of rain. And also many solitary bees in one spot may put them at higher risk of predation I've heard. But bee hotels can still be great! I've seen people suggest putting up multiple smaller ones in different places of the yard rather than one huge hotel
Does anyone know how I can get a hold of this Bill Peachy?
Let me know when you do. I want to ask some questions about the La tetera Cave.
Thank you, very educational.
