    Bird-foot Checkerbloom (Sidalcea pedata) Reserve Design Criteria: Reproductive Potential in a Fragmented Environment Prepared for the California Department of Fish and Game 1416 9th Street 12th Floor Sacramento, California 95814 Prepared by Dr. Joan M. Leong Biological Sciences Department California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Section 6 Project Final Report State of California Contract No. P0160008 Section 6 Grant No. R0185008/E-2-P-21 May 2006 Section 6 Project Final Report State of California Contract #P0160008 Project Title: Bird-foot Checkerbloom (Sidalcea pedata) Reserve Design Criteria: Reproductive Potential in a Fragmented Environment P.I.: Dr. Joan M. Leong Biological Sciences Department California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Project Background Bird-foot checkerbloom (Sidalcea pedata) is a narrow endemic restricted to the Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains of San Bernardino County in Southern California. In 1984, it was listed as endangered in response to development pressures across its narrow geographical range (Krantz 1985). Sidalcea pedata is endemic to wet montane meadows and some adjacent drier habitats; remaining wet meadow fragments in the Big Bear Valley are estimated to total to 20 acres or less (USDI Fish and Wildlife Service 1998; Stephenson & Calcarone 1999; Butler 2000). Very little checkerbloom habitat is protected, and its habitat is threatened by urban development. Before a reserve or mitigation system can be developed for Sidalcea pedata, key biological attributes such as breeding system and pollinator ecology must be identified. The recovery plan (USDI Fish and Wildlife Service 1998) recognized that little is known about the biology of S. pedata despite the many surveys that have been done.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than our own. They represent our official position only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.
