| Research Project Title: | Insect Herbivores and Population Biology of Ligusticum porteri, Porter's Lovage |
| Investigator: | Emily Mooney |
| Abstract:: | Osha (Ligusticum porteri) is a native perennial plant whose root is harvested for used in herbal medicine. Due to increasing demand from the wild, this species is of special conservation concern and harvest is forbidden in some areas. However, little is known about the biology of osha. This study will collect information related to the ecology and population biology of osha. Such information may help to manage this species in the wild. |
