San Antonio Road\, Los Altos DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled. The Los Altos Library informed us that all p ublic programs in March have been cancelled due to the coronavirus. We will try to reschedule this talk later in the year.\nJoin us for the latest Cha pter announcements and student presentations, meet fellow members and guest s and enjoy a program together! Dr. Justen Whittall will discuss the role o f flower color in determining taxonomic boundaries, conservation status and restoration priorities for jewelflowers (Streptanthus sp.) on Coyote Ridge in south San Jose. He will provide updates on the “good news” of the reint roduced populations of the white-flowered Metcalf Canyon jewelflower (S. al bidus ssp. albidus) atop Tulare Hill nearby.\nMore recently, his team has t urned their attention to the closely related, and comparably rare, pink-flo wered most beautiful jewelflower (Streptanthus albidus ssp. peramoenus). Th ey have been investigating the evolutionary and ecological distinctiveness of this controversial taxon. The consistent differences in sepal color and geography between the Metcalf Canyon and most beautiful jewelflowers suppor t continued recognition of these rarities as distinct taxa. Developing a fi eld-ready tool for reliable taxon identification based on sepal color is hi s team’s next challenge.\nJusten B. Whittall was born in Santa Clara; he gr ew up running trails in the south County and surfing Santa Cruz beaches. He received a BS from Santa Clara University, an MS from Oregon State and a P h.D. from UC Santa Barbara in Plant Evolution (focusing on North America co lumbines). Justen has been an Associate Professor at Santa Clara University in Biology since 2007. He has expanded his research to include flower colo r evolution in arctic mustards (Parrya) and Mediterranean campions (Silene) , plus conservation genetics restoration ecology of Strepthanhus and wallfl owers (Erysimum).
