Grassland birds have declined more rapidly than any other group of land birds in North America in the last 50 years, with populations of Spragues Pipit, Chestnut-collared and Thick-billed Longspur, and Bairds Sparrow having declined 65-94% during this period. This proposed cross-programmatic collaborative project between Migratory Birds and Refuges will expand on a growing network of Motus automated radio telemetry receivers (stations) to provide the first fine-scale quantitative assessment of the migratory period for regional priority grassland songbirds, which will inform key knowledge gaps about migration routes and stopover locations. Data collected via Motus automated telemetry tracking will allow the FWS and...

Pilot Aquatic Grassland Prioritization Tool Focused on Topeka Shiner and Cogeners. Objectives: 1) Identify data sets and develop methodology building on existing analyses of priority watersheds and fish habitat selection criteria across grassland ecosystem 2) Assess need and feasibility to develop decision tool for strategically addressing measureable, cross-programmatic conservation aquatic grassland benefits. Programs (Fish Habitat, Fish Passage, Partners and FAC, ES and NWR) and partners (Midwest Landscape Initiative and Great Plains FHP) can use this tool to support decisions for committing resources within and across grassland ecosystems to priority areas with multi-species benefits (initial focus on Topeka...

This project supports the analysis of the west-wide (and cross-border, as the project involves samples from across southern Canada as well) analysis of wolverine gene flow and population structure. Building upon previous occupancy surveys and tissue sample collection conducted through collaborative work between the Service and the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), this project proposes to provide funding for a quantitative geneticist at the University of Montana to analyze wolverine genetic data, conduct two workshops with State and provincial experts, conduct landscape-scale genetic connectivity assessments, and publish a peer-review manuscript.PI: Erin Landguth erin.landguth@gmail.comPI/Funding...

The proposed large-scale collaborative research project will provide the first thorough assessment of the effects of pion-juniper woodland treatments on the Pinyon Jay, a species undergoing rapid population declines according to the BBS. The results of this multi-state study will provide land management agencies critical information about impacts of woodland management on the species and significant, novel data about habitat use and specific habitat preferences. These data will allow land managers to better understand the needs of the species and inform how future management practices can be implemented to reduce or mitigate negative impacts. Without these data, land management agencies and the conservation community...

Collaborative research project between Science Applications, Migratory Birds Program, and National Wildlife Refuge System to test the efficacy and applicabilty of the deploymant of a pilot MOTUS tracking array and nanotagging birds - to assess ability to determine demographics, migration timing, and nesting and wintering habitat selection of 4 priority species in the grasslands ecosystem. If sucessful, will aid the Service and conservation partners in strategic conservation delivery and monitoring.. Science Applications is providing funds for equipement acqisition and assissting in analyses.

Understanding current and future threat of invasive annual grasses (invasives) in the sagebrush ecosystem is a critical need for resource and wildfire management, biological planning and conservation design for this imperiled ecosystem. Many land managers are challenged with selecting the most appropriate invasives dataset or tool for their planning efforts due to difficulties in understanding dataset attributes (e.g., scale, resolution, sensitivity) and lining them up with management objectives. This project will: (1) develop an annotated bibliography of recent, peer-reviewed literature for three invasive annual grass species of highest concern (cheatgrass, medusahead, and ventenata); (2) review all geospatial...
