I'm very excited to be headed back to the field in Baja to do more surveying for environmental variables related to the habitat suitability modeling and to rephotograph 30 individual Cochemiea halei plants in a variety of habitats. I have been working on developing age estimates for these very slow growing plants and I'm hoping the re-photographing project will offer some insight there. I'll be posting pictures from the beautiful peninsula and the islands, so stay tuned!
I am developing and applying innovative population genetics data analysis with habitat suitability modeling to solve longstanding challenges in the effort to save endangered plant species. Combining high throughput RADseq data analysis with species distribution models, I am exploring relatively inexpensive, feasible methods to generate powerful population viability assessments, estimates of threshold population size and the constraints on the habitats of rare plants.
