Recommendations about regions of high priority
1. Regions of high evolutionary interest that are under threat of development
2. Stands in southern California with connectivity into Tehachapis
3. Areas with elevational gradients in coastal and Sierran ranges.

Reserve Design Example:Using valley oak genetic diversity
Maximum coverage approach• MARXAN 1.8 reserve design software• Minimum number of sites and
maximum number of “alleles”• Chloroplast haplotypes• Nuclear alleles• Combined model• Analyses are based on simple model and no
additional weightings (e.g. threat, cost, opportunity)
