Botrychium ferns – inter and intra species differences, ecology, distribution, and population genetic structure

Rare plant conservation and ecology, Restoration ecology, Plant community genetics , Policy and science interactions

Current Research

I am currently working with ferns in the Botrychium (grapefern) genus. We’ve found many morphs of the same species and are investigating possible genetic differences. We hope to use AFLPs or microsats to expand our work to the population level. I’m interested in how populations are related to each other as well as the amount of interbreeding and diversity present. We’re also looking at morphological data sets on Cirsium hillii and Cirsium pitcheri.
