Method synopsis

Field survey of Tragopogon populations across elevation gradient with morphological measurements and cluster analysis to classify individuals into species and hybrid categories. Uses multiple morphological characters to distinguish T. dubius, T. pratensis, and putative hybrids.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Typical Equipment

• SAS Proc CLUSTER
• SAS Proc REG

Output Measurements

• population composition by morphological class
• elevation distribution of taxa
• morphological ratios
