Instructor Bios:
Dr. Anton Reznicek – Dr. Reznicek is a research scientist and curator of vascular plants at the University of Michigan Herbarium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His major research interest is the systematics and evolution of sedges (Cyperaceae), especially the large and complex genus Carex. In his research, he emphasizes a multi-level approach concentrating on several aspects, including development of new characters useful in systematics, monographic studies of major groups, and processes and patterns of evolution. He also conducts research on the biogeography of the northeastern North American flora, concentrating on the Great Lakes region, and primarily focusing on plant migration and colonization, the origin and persistence of relict plant species and communities, and the biogeography and conservation of rare species. Dr. Reznicek has a broad knowledge of Michigan plants, and was instrumental in updating and consolidating Voss’s three volume Michigan Flora, with the publication of the Field Manual of Michigan Flora in 2012. Dr. Reznicek has instructed many training courses in the past for MWA, including classes on shrubs, grasses, sedges, asters, goldenrods and others.
