A prolific author and scientist, who is a reference for pollinators and native plants. She published many books on the topic. A lot of that information is available for free in an easily-digestible format.
did you know the humble apple tree evolved from a cross between a wildflower called "Meadowsweet" and an ancient plum? or that apple trees are native to only a small part of North America, but provide countless benefits to wildlife all over? me neither. here's a good read if you have an apple tree, or if you don't and just want to revel in the info.
research shows that an overwhelming amount of native pollinators are supported by a few native plants. how's that for a positive environmental action you can do?
"The research of entomologist, Dr. Doug Tallamy, and his team at the University of Delaware have identified 14% of native plants (the keystones) support 90% of butterfly and moth lepidoptera species. The research of horticulturist Jarrod Fowler has shown that 15% to 60% of North American native bee species are pollen specialists who only eat pollen from 40% of native plants."
if you're interested in learning more, please give Tallamy a read with his book, Bringing Nature Home (2007)
