Abstract
Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (ErMF) can form a symbiosis with plants in the Ericales order. This relationship may affect floral traits, pollinator visitation, and plant fitness. Preliminary data support this hypothesis in highbush blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum. Here, I plan to repeat previous experiments and go one step further to examine the links between ErMF, floral traits, and yield under exposure to different pollinator communities in the Champlain Valley.
