UCBN Lemhi Penstemon Genetic Diversity and Long-term Demographic Monitoring at BIHO
Rodhouse T and Sagatelova M. 2020. UCBN Lemhi Penstemon Genetic Diversity and Long-term Demographic Monitoring at BIHO. Webinar
Tom Rodhouse, UCBN ecologist, provides an update on long-term monitoring of Lemhi penstemon demography (survival and mortality rates) in Big Hole NB and discusses how prescribed fire and spring weather patterns (particularly draught conditions) affect the species. How these studies influence long-term conservation of Lemhi penstemon and next steps for collaborative conservation across the region are discussed. Then, join geneticist (Mary Sagatelova) from The Ohio State University to learn about the genetic diversity of Lemhi penstemon in Big Hole NB and across the endemic range of this species in SW Montana and adjacent Lehmi County, Idaho.
