Sedgwick Reserve

The central questions are whether the diversity of acorn weevils are associated with a) local species diversity of oaks, b) a latitudinal gradient, c) genetic diversity of local oak population, and d) acorn size. Because acorn weevils have specialized on oaks for their evolutionary past, the core hypothesis is that the species diversity should be associated with the local diversity. Dr. Espelta has observed high weevil diversity in Nicaragua and low diversity in Europe. He predicts intermediate diversity in California populations. Thus the observations at Sedgwick will be part of an international study.
