The following research work is part of a collaborative effort
between Dr. Bidart-Bouzat at Bowling Green State University and
Dr. Tolson at the Toledo Zoo:
-Geographic variation in wild lupine secondary chemistry (i.e.,
alkaloids and other chemicals) and its potential effects on
several KBB fitness and behavioral traits.
-The effect of environmental factors on the secondary chemistry
of wild lupine.
-The association between variation in nutritional compounds (in
leaf tissue and soils) and the secondary chemistry of wild
lupine.
