Packrats middens preserve ancient plant life in Nevada study
Becklin leads KU researchers using packrat middens from Nevada's Snake Range to study how 21 000 year old North American plants survived during the last glacial period. The samples come from nearly 400 nests collected by late KU ecologist Philip Wells. Findings suggest many plants altered physiology in response to environmental change, informing future adaptation predictions.
