Description
“The interesting world of tree pollination in the Knysna Forests”
Dr Rudi Crispin Swart is an ecologist, manager of the Forest Programme at NVT and research associate at Nelson Mandela University. He has worked in the southern Cape forests for more than a decade. He has studied edge effects, road effects, canopy insect diversity, leaf litter decomposition, tree seed predation via insects and the pollination of forest trees. His talk will focus on the latter, which saw him climb trees using rope techniques to document the flower visitors of Knysna Forest trees.
