Description
Belt transect method for censusing lupine populations and collecting inflorescences for morphological analysis across sympatric and allopatric sites. Combines population surveying with systematic floral trait measurement.
Typical Equipment
- GPS
- tape for marking
- measuring tools for morphological measurements
Output Measurements
- population census data
- inflorescence density
- floral volume
- banner-to-wing gap angle
- flower width
- claw-to-wing length
- banner-to-wing height
