Summary of analyses for 109 basin wildrye source populations growing in common gardens at Central Ferry and Pullman, WA in 2012 and 2013.
Table 3.
Mean comparisons between wild octoploid (n = 57) and tetraploid (n = 52) basin wildrye among years and common gardens sites at Central Ferry (CF) and Pullman (PU), WA.

Comparisons of octoploid (n = 57) and tetraploid (n = 52) variance components for basin wildrye traits measured in common gardens at Central Ferry and Pullman, WA in 2011 and 2012.
Fig 1.
Maps of regression models for heading day, leaf area, and head number with climate variables for basin wildrye in the intermountain west.
Omernik ecoregion boundaries are shown as red lines. The different colored areas were delimited with contours based on the ± P = 0.01 confidence interval from the regression model error term. Model predictions outside the range of trait values were not mapped (shown in white).
Fig 2.
Fifteen proposed seed zones for basin wildrye based on regression models of canonical variates 1 and 2 with climate variables over intermountain west.
The canonical variates were derived from canonical correlation of plant traits and climate variables. Ecoregion boundaries are shown as red lines. Model predictions outside the range of observed canonical scores were not mapped, and were shown in white.

Relationship between average temperature and precipitation in basin wildrye seed zones (numbered 1 to 15) in the intermountain West.
Populations within zones are designated as octoploid (octo), tetraploid (tetra), both, or unsampled.
