This National Science Foundation project grant of $352,942 supports research into the ecological and evolutionary responses of the iconic California poppy to increasing aridity across its range from 2023 to 2027. The University of Connecticut, as prime awardee, will conduct field observations, greenhouse experiments, population genetics analyses, and species distribution modeling to improve predictions of species persistence under climate change. Researchers will study genetic variation in drought tolerance, longevity and seed production traits within and across the species' landscape to inform conservation strategies enhancing adaptive potential. As part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to strengthen biological research, the awardees will develop new Demographic Distribution Models incorporating evolutionary mechanisms into ecological and biogeographic predictions applicable to other widespread foundation species. Graduate and undergraduate training is also included to promote STEM participation.
