Dear Ecolog community, I am hoping to conduct an experiment looking at mechanisms underpinning niche breadth, using Mimulus as my model system. I'm casting a broad net to see what might be available; I'm looking for Mimulus species other than guttatus, from Western USA. If anyone has collections on hand that they'd be willing to share, could you please email me (off list) a few details about your seed stocks (species, rough geographic location, rough number of maternal families collected if known, and whether the collection is bulked or maternal families were kept separate within a population)?
Alternatively, if anyone might be willing to collect a few specimens this summer during their field work, please send me an email with the general areas where you might be, and I'd love to discuss this further. Thank you very much for your kind attention, and I appreciate any assistance.
