SCIENCECROSSCUT SEATTLE
DESERT SEEDS, BEES & WILDCATS
Native Seeds Search has preserved over 1800 seeds, including white Sonoran wheat, for tribes and farmers. The Sonoran Desert has the most bee species globally, but honeybees may disrupt the balance. The University of Arizona is collecting DNA from jaguars, ocelots, bobcats, and mountain lions to study these elusive animals.
