Description

Vernal pool ecosystems in California support a variety of narrowly distributed annual plants. As a result of the destruction, fragmentation, and degradation of vernal pool habitat, some vernal pool endemic plants are now considered threatened or endangered. The federally endangered San Diego mesa mint Pogogyne abramsii) is a vernal pool endemic now found only in a few locations in coastal San Diego County, California. To learn more about the pollination biology of this species, we conducted a survey of its floral visitors and measured the extent to which natural populations experience pollen limitation. The assemblage of floral visitors present at sites supporting mesa mint did not differ from that present in nearby chaparral sites. The most frequent visitors to P. abramsii flowers were two bee species in the genus Anthophorula. By performing hand cross pollination, we found evidence for pollen limitation in our study population. The degree of pollen limitation was independent of floral density. We found a negative correlation between visitation rate per unit area and pollen limitation, however we found no correlation between visitation rate and floral density. Our results indicate that conservation of this rare plant species likely requires the maintenance of pollination services through healthy populations of generalist pollinators and that individuals will produce more seeds in areas with higher visitation rates regardless of floral density. The introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion sections are currently being prepared for submission for publication of the material. The thesis author was the primary investigator and author of this material.
