WP4 - Population management methodologies Coordinator José M. Iriondo Dept. of Plant Biology, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain Area of expertise: Plant Conservation Ex situ conservation of wild plants: conventional seedbanking in vitro storage cryopreservation germination and seed dormancy micropropagation Area of expertise: Plant Conservation In situ conservation of wild plant populations Structure demographic genetic spatial Reproductive biology Dynamics - population viability analysis (PVA) Area of expertise: Plant Conservation Threatened plant species Wild relatives Cultivated species WP4 Workshop on population management methodologies WP4 Location: Spain Madrid (Avila - 115 km) (Valencia - 352 km) Dates: 5 days - June 2004 Subsistence costs (lodging + meals): Hotel NH Nacional ****: 710 Euro per person WP4 - Fit in with overall goals Identification of target species Conservation status Documentation Conservation strategy for a target species Conservation of populations: diagnosis and measures WP4 - Aims Population management and monitoring methodologies appropriate for the in situ genetic conservation of European wild relatives WP4 - Key questions (I) Definition of goals Classification of species for management purposes breeding system life form other WP4 - Key questions (II) Methods for diagnosis of present status demographic genetic molecular fitness markers (neutral) components agronomic characters ecological quality/cost considerations WP4 - Key questions (III) Identification of threats demographic biotic vs. genetic perspectives and abiotic factors Collection of germplasm (ex situ - in situ coordination) WP4 - Key questions (IV) Corrective measures Interactions with overall protected area management plans Monitoring methods Structure and contents of a management plan WP4 - Workshop agenda Tuesday: Arrivals Wednesday: general matters, goals and classification Thursday: diagnosis, germplasm collection Friday: corrective measures, monitoring Saturday: Excursion (protected area/tourism) Sunday: Departures WP4 - Input required from project partners Collect experiences of management and monitoring in genetic reserves. Provide contacts with protected area managers, administration personnel, agronomists that have something to say on this. Create a reference database WP4 - Proposed products Methodology for generation of protected area population management plans Methodology for protected area population monitoring
