Join us for our first Mini-Series Webinar! These sessions are short and sweet to squeeze into your busy schedule.
Bidens (tickseed) species can be notoriously tricky to differentiate in the field, especially when overlapping in wetland habitats. This 15-minute mini-tutorial will guide participants through the key morphological characteristics used to identify Michigan’s ten Bidens species. Attendees will gain confidence in field identification and learn which diagnostic traits—such as involucral bract arrangement, awn morphology, and achene structure—are most reliable across species.
Online via ZOOM! (Registrants will receive a Zoom link before the webinar.)
