We are building on over 20 years of genetic and ecological field work on this imperiled species endemic to central Idaho. Specifically, we have built a genetic marker panel using GTseq to genotype hundreds of samples to assist Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the US Fish and Wildlife Service in genetic monitoring of this species.  This will help to define conservation units, estimate effective population sizes, estimate rates of dispersal (gene flow) and landscapes features that facilitate gene flow, and document their mating system to help identify optimal translocation methods. We are also using DNA metabarcoding to document essential plants in the species’ diet and how diet preferences change seasonally.
