The Conservation Blueprint provides a foundation to design strategies for collaborative conservation effort to achieve sustainable landscapes in the face of change. It builds on the Ecological Assesment project to develop a set of linked geospatial data products related to the nine priority systems of the GCPO LCC to provide a scientific (i.e. transparent, replicable & defensible) approach to identifying the next best places for collaborative conservation effort toward the partnership’s shared vision.
Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations have suffered extensive declines in their native range due to habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. In the Southeast, brook trout are designated as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in GA, NC, SC, TN, VA, and WV and are an indicator of coldwater ecosystems in the Appalachian Mountains. This project seeks to take a manger-centric, co-production approach, to characterize how and why impacts on brook trout populations differ over space in the Southeast. This project will evaluate the robustness of GIS-derived landscape data to predict spatial variation in measured stream temperature and link thermal regimes to trout population stability over time....

Healthy ecosystems benefit people, plants, domestic animals, and wildlife in Alabama. Diseases impact agriculture, public health and wildlife conservation. Focusing upon this subject, the Alabama Departments of Agriculture and Industries, Conservation and Natural Resources, and Public Health, together with Auburn University, will form a new coalition to develop a One Health framework to prepare and safeguard against current and emerging infectious disease threats. Our objectives center around enhanced surveillance, prevention, control, applied research, and training on wildlife health issues throughout the state.
This project aims to increase our agency’s ability to detect and respond to wildlife diseases by increasing ourresponse capability, improving our capacity for surveillance and diagnostics, and adding dedicated resourcesdedicated to managing our data and communications needs. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s(FWC) Fish and Wildlife Health (FWH) team is tasked with preventing, detecting, and managing diseases ofwildlife, responding to stakeholder needs, and determining the extent of disease impacts and the risk posed toother species including domestic animals and people. With a small but dedicated staff, we respond to wildlifehealth need in a heavily populated yet ecosystem rich state that strectches...
The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) is the lead applicant agency and will work through the Centerfor Climate and Health (an ANTHC / Alaska Pacific University (APU) partnership), to implement the “DevelopingTribal Capacity for Zoonotic Disease Preparedness and Response - A One Health Initiative” project with a goal ofincreasing interagency collaboration, surveillance, and tribal engagement in the preparation for and response tozoonotic diseases in Alaska. Alaska Native (AN) people face unique and significant challenges from zoonoticdiseases due to subsistence harvesting practices that rely on the collection and consumption of traditionalfoods, limited health service access, social determinants of health,...
Zoonotic diseases account for more than 70% of infectious diseases worldwide. In the United States, avian influenza viruses such as H5N1 and H1N1 hold the greatest pandemic potential of known virus groups; therefore, bolstering the ability to monitor and predict potential spillover events from wildlife will be integral for taking steps to prevent human and domestic infection. This will require strong communication among stakeholders, the capacity to conduct active surveillance research, and having adequate supplies and equipment for quickly responding to disease events. As such, this multi-agency project aims to 1) build a communication network among stakeholders for rapid dissemination of wildlife disease events,...

This project responds to an identified need to harness practitioners experience and outcomes of large-scale habitat restoration efforts in the sagebrush biome to inform future restoration treatments and adaptive management of ongoing projects. The project will capitalize on existing rangeland restoration project databases (e.g. the Land Treatment Digital Library [LTDL], Land Treatment Exploration Tool [LTET], and others currently being managed at local and state levels) at a time when both state and federal funding opportunities are enabling land managers to treat sagebrush ecosystem threats, particularly invasive annual grasses, at large landscape scales. We will implement a robust, yet practical monitoring plan...
A mission of the Science Applications program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to provide a partnership where the conservation community can guide more effective conservation actions in the face of resource threats amplified by a rapidly changing climate. To accomplish this mission, critical needs exist to 1) develop scientific information and tools for conservation prioritization and decision making and 2) facilitate delivery and adoption of these science products by partners operating at multiple spatial scales with varying approaches to conservation. Extending the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) Designing Sustainable Landscape (DSL) project (McGarigal et al. 2017) sponsored by Science Applications...

Feathers have been collected from shorebirds from 2006-2019 across Alaska and Canada. To determine the impact of feather pulling on subsequent feather growth, we identified and scanned feathers that were collected in subsequent years. In this case, we restricted our dataset to samples in which the same feathers were pulled in subsequent years and for those collected only after their initial pulling (i.e., year x and x+1). These scans will then be used to look at size and shape in comparison to original feathers to determine if pulling of feathers has any impact on growth of feathers in the following year.The data providers have invested considerable effort in QA/QC, but it is possible that undetected errors remain....

Principal to the management of migratory landbird resources is an understanding of their occurrence within the landscape. Baseline information on bird distribution is a primary need “to preserve a natural diversity and abundance of fauna and flora on refuge lands” (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [USFWS] 1993a). Documenting the occurrence and distribution of all migratory bird species is a priority of the USFWS’s action plan for developing a nongame bird inventory and monitoring strategy for National Wildlife Refuge system lands (USFWS 1993b ). Distribution and abundance information previously collected on National Wildlife Refuges has contributed to the description of distributional patterns of birds in Alaska....
