Knowledge graph centered on Elevation gradient flower spectrophotometry with 40 nodes and 160 connections. Top connected: Delphinium, Spruce, Erigeron, elevational gradients, Artemisia.
Description
Systematic collection and spectrophotometric analysis of flowers across elevation gradients to quantify color variation. Targets pollinator-visible flower regions and converts reflectance to pollinator visual spaces.
Typical Equipment
- Avantes model 2048 spectrophotometer
- coolers
- R software
- pavo package
Output Measurements
- reflectance spectra
- wavelength band reflectance
- bee visual space values
- fly visual space values
