Alison has just had the first chapter of her PhD published, which provides the most comprehensive flora of Bermuda’s vascular plants that includes all known introduced and invasive plant species. You can find the study (open access) here.

Take-home message: Bermuda’s flora is dominated by introduced plant species, outnumbering native species by more than 10 to 1! In this study, Alison explores the taxonomic and geographic origin patterns of the introduced flora. Right now, Alison is in Bermuda carrying out fieldwork, surveying vegetation in systematic detail. Stay tuned to find out more from Alison’s PhD project!
