Objective(s): To compare the breeding biology of 2 species of arctic willow (Salix reticulate and S. calcicola) at Tarr Inlet; to estimate the size of the paternity pool available to the females for pollination;
Project Description: The researcher will investigate the factors that govern the growth and reproduction of 2 types of willow on Baffin Island. She will compare the numbers of seeds each species produces and attempt to determine how successful male clones are in producing offspring.
