<div dir="ltr">Over the past four years there have been a few inquiries regarding our studies on the pollination ecology of two color morphs of the birds foot violet (Viola pedata) at our two Missouri sites. We made the final transition from poster to manuscript several months ago and the paper came out in the "Journal of Pollination Ecology" within the last few days . The published version is attached. If you hear any background noise it's only Spencer Barrett mumbling, "Leave me alone, I'm a busy man," or Sam Droege asking, "What's a violet?"<div><br></div><div><div>This one is for Dr. Frankel...</div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">"I once wore nothing but violets all through one season, as a form of artistic mourning for a romance that would not die. Ultimately, however, it did die. I forget what killed it." </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray"</p></div><div><br></div><div><div>Sincerely,<br></div><div>Peter Bernhardt, Professor of Biology</div><div>Saint Louis University</div><div>Research Assoc.
