Conservation Genetics of Sarracenia rubra ssp. gulfensis, a Petitioned Pitcher Plant of the Florida Panhandle
Bednar will measure the level and structure of genetic diversity within and among the existing populations of the gulf pitcher plant by sampling across the full range of native distribution, measuring the prevalence of clonality within populations, and providing an estimate of plant abundance during survey periods. Results from the study will aid the status assessment of the pitcher plant by US Fish and Wildlife Service and will identify necessary conservation efforts.
