Ann Antlfinger

Ann Antlfinger is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. Her teaching focuses on Organic Evolution, Population Biology, and Experimental Design. Her research combines ecological and genetic approaches to study plant populations, particularly Panax quinquefolius (American Ginseng) and Spiranthes cernua (Nodding ladies' tresses). She investigates genetic variation, demographic dynamics, and restoration ecology, including prairie re-introduction projects and mycorrhizal interactions in terrestrial orchids. She is also engaged in evaluating prairie restoration at Stolley Prairie and offers sustainability consultations.
