Santa Cruz Island Reserve

01 Jul, 07 AM - 05 Jul, 05 AM

I would like to collect specimens of Pellaea mucronata var. mucronata and Pellaea andromedifolia from several populations through out the island. I am in the process of examining herbarium specimens at UCB to determine specific collection sites but would welcome population site location information. I need to collect voucher specimens; live plants to be subsequently maintained in a greenhouse for DNA extraction, spore harvest, cytology, and water stress/desiccation tolerance experiments; field collected fertile fronds for pickling; and silica gel dried frond samples. I will be traveling with my experienced field assistants: Rob Kirkpatrick (husband), Sean Kirkpatrick (son age 14), and Mackenzie Kirkpatrick (son age 10). We will need a private room to share or would use an area of a dorm room if that is all that is available. We will also need bathroom, shower, and kitchen facilities. We will also need to use a vehicle to travel about the island large enough to accomodate the four of us and day hiking gear.
