  This push from the nest (Jim told me that three degrees from ASU would not be a good thing, and that I needed to experience new settings and labs) led me to doctoral work with John Skvarla and L.R. Wilson at the University of Oklahoma, and then to a post-doc with Tom and Edith Taylor at The Ohio State University.

  When Academy botanist Tom Daniel first visited Mexico in 1976 as a graduate student researching the country's native plants, he didn't expect to spend much time there.The region was not considered rich in his plants of interest, the shrimp plants (Acanthaceae family), and he didn't speak Spanish.But after spending five months tracking down species, he not only fell in love with a country whose people frequently took him in for a Spanish lesson, but he discovered that Mexico was a shrimp plant biodiversity hotspot, teeming with species found nowhere else in the world.
  
  In the nearly 27 years since then, Daniel has discovered and described shrimp plants from just about every part of the country.And he's still uncovering surprises.Shrimp plants inhabit the wettest rainforests and the driest deserts, and have a diverse array of pollinators including flies, bees, hummingbirds, and bats.Daniel and colleagues recently found that shrimp plants' pollinators can usually be correlated with the sugary makeup of the flower's nectar.Thus, by analyzing the ratio of the nectar's sugars, the scientists can predict pollinators.
  
  He's starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.This February, he's off to the Yucatán Peninsula to explore the last three Mexican states to conclude a survey of the entire country.But his love affair with Mexico is far from over.

  Now another Academy botanist, Tom Daniel, is updating this valuable resource to show what plants are abundant in the county today, which are hanging by a thread, and even those that are long gone.
  
  Daniel will include many areas that Howell and his colleagues were unable to access such as Alcatraz and Treasure islands.

  The near-demise of any species is significant to the health of the planet, said Tom Daniel, botany curator at the California Academy of Sciences.
  
  "It's like removing rivets from an airplane," Daniel said.
