Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">One of the greatest puzzles in taxonomy and conservation is addressing the question of cryptic species. A cryptic species is one that is difficult to differentiate from others, be they close or distantly related. The genus Isoëtes has a high potential for crypsis: it is morphologically simple, difficult to find in the field, and generally not very well known. When studying the Californian members of the genus, I began to find signs that there were cryptic taxa treated under the widespread species of <em><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">I. nuttallii, I. minima</span></em> and <em><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">I. orcuttii</span></em>. To test my hypothesis that these species harbored cryptic taxa, I used a combination of molecular phylogenetics, population genetics and morphological observations to test the veracity of the described species. As a result, I found that there were not three, but seven species represented by the collections identified as <em><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">I. nuttallii, I. minima</span></em> and <em><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">I. orcuttii</span></em>. My results show that not only is there potentially greater taxonomic diversity in Isoëtes than previously recognized, but this method, while time consuming, is capable of parsing out cryptic species.</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"> </span></p><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">Join us THIS Thursday!</span></strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">February 9th, 2023</span></strong></span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%"><br></span><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">7-8 pm PT</span></strong></h3></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:#344d32;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td style="padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt;border-radius:8px"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=9bc4796801&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank" title="Zoom link"><b><span style="color:white;letter-spacing:-.4pt;text-decoration:none">Zoom link</span></b></a> </span></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 6.75pt 0in 6.75pt;min-width:100%"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><img border="0" width="423" id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://mcusercontent.com/c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e/images/2b75fe6a-9e35-a2d5-0148-2d9caab0ca5f.jpeg"></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td width="600" valign="top" style="width:6.25in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width:100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;word-break:break-word"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt"><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;color:black">Bio</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">Forrest was born and raised in the Sonoma / Marin region of California, and has lived his entire life in the state. From a young age, he was fascinated with plants, which eventually led to him pursuing a degree in Botany, culminating in a PhD from UC Berkeley. Forrest has always been fascinated with obscure, odd or less well known groups of plants, which led him to work on the genus <em><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">Isoëtes</span></em>, a type of Lycophyte that is highly cryptic on the landscape. In addition to his degree, Forrest spent two years as a field botanist for the Bureau of Land Management in the Mojave Desert.</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><strong><i><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Talk Zoom link: </span></i></strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><br><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=83608f8e86&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank"><span style="color:#007c89">https://ucr.zoom.us/j/94620821807?pwd=SHRLVVR4WHlVTGtCUko4bVp1SkFiZz09</span></a> <br> </span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td style="padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"></td><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td style="padding:6.75pt 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt;min-width:100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;background:#344d32;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt;min-width:100%!important"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:#f2f2f2"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=dd04d4fa0e&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank"><span style="color:honeydew;font-weight:normal">Madroño Feature: </span></a></span></strong><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:#f2f2f2"><br><br><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=ebd751e07d&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank"><span style="color:honeydew">Forrest Freund, Duncan Thomas. 2020.
