Description

Long-term monitoring of plant morphological traits across permanent transects spanning a hybrid zone between two Ipomopsis species along an elevational gradient, with cline fitting to quantify trait gradients.

Typical Equipment

  • permanent flags
  • GPS
  • measuring tools
  • reflectance spectrometer
  • flatbed scanner
  • ImageJ freeware
  • SAS statistical software version 9.3

Output Measurements

  • corolla length
  • corolla width
  • anther insertion
  • petal color
  • nectar production rate
  • specific leaf area
  • leaf trichome density
