McLaughlin Reserve

22 May, 01 PM - 04 Jun, 01 PM

I plan to focus on one or more species of Clarkia occurring both on and off serpentine soil. I'm generally interested in adaptation to soil type and morphological/phenological traits associated with maintaining local adaptation. I am hoping to identify populations that span across soil type boundaries, so that I can study plants that are relatively close to each other (i.e., members of the same population) but occurring on different soil types. This year I plan to study a number of traits known to be associated with mating system (flowering phenology, corolla size, protandry, herkogamy) and make comparisons between plants living in the two soil environments. I also plan to study local adaptation to soil type by conducting a small number of hand-pollinations between plants occurring within and between soil environments. The seed produced from those crosses would be used for a number of things, including a small number of reciprocal transplants in the field at McLaughlin and common garden experiments in the UWSP greenhouse.
