This is a continuation of my work on how coevolving interactions between pollinators and plants have diverged in different ecosystems throughout far western North America. The overall research description is already on file. Data from this work have been used in publications on phylogeographic structure of the moths and in current ecological analyses of pollinator-plant interactions at Sedgwick in comparison with other sites. The work focuses on the interactions between Lithophragma plants and Greya moths. Current work focuses on laboratory experiments using greenhouse plants grown from seeds collected at Sedgwick and Greya moths collected at Sedgwick. My work this year at Sedgwick will involve up to several trips to collect Lithophragma flowers and seeds and adult Greya moths for use in laboratory experiments at UCSC. These will either be day trips to Sedgwick or overnight trips.
