This grant is for researchers seeking to undertake a critical study focused on rare plant populations within Colorado’s Big Gypsum Valley. The core objective of this funding opportunity is to facilitate comprehensive genetic analysis. Grantees will be required to apply diverse types of genetic data to thoroughly assess the evolutionary relationships existing between two identified plant lineages. Beyond this, the project aims to integrate these findings by placing the lineages within the broader evolutionary context of other Cryptantha species prevalent in the region. A significant component of the research also involves meticulously determining the precise level of genetic diversity present within these valuable plant populations, offering crucial insights for their conservation and management.
