Abstract
I am generally interested by plant reproductive ecology, and flowering strategies in particular. I have worked on subject like the optimal size for flowering in monocarpic perennials in sand dune habitats, flowering strategies in tropical montane forest (Costa Rica), and pollinator visitation in Louisiana iris hybrids. A second subject of interest is the break-up of species barriers by natural hybridisation
