Science Pub: Effects of Introduced Trout on Lakeside Pollination
At Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant, 18 E. Ortega Street
Trout introduction was a common California practice in the 1800s for recreation and game-fishing. Today, researchers increasingly see impacts on native aquatic food webs and ecosystem structure. However, the impacts of trout are far-reaching and extend beyond the lake edge. Join UCSB Ph.D. candidate Michelle Lee to explore potential cascading impacts of introduced trout in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range on lakeside plant and pollinator communities. The results may surprise you!
