The US Fish and Wildlife Service has been petitioned to list the regal fritillary butterfly under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with decision due in FY 2022. Population and species viability are directly related to genetic diversity, yet direct measures of genetic diversity are rare for any species, let alone a species of conservation concern. Previous research revealed regal fritillary populations show a reduction in genetic diversity from west to east, as potential habitat patches become smaller and more isolated. Genetic information will inform the species status assessment and the 12-month finding for this species.PI: Sara Oyler-McCance, sara_oyler-mccance@usgs.govPI/Funding recipients organization: US Geological...

Sicklefin and sturgeon chub in Missouri and Mississippi Rivers were petitioned and Species Status Assessments (SSA) are due by 2023. This project will characterize population structure using tissue samples collected and genetically analyzed to assess trend of populations throughout their range.Objectives are: 1) Describe population structuring (degree of genetic isolation or mixing) taken from species range 2) describe Effective Population Size (Ne) 3) Describe population trends. Samples provided by participating state wildlife agencies and federal agencies. Cost of sampling is subsidized by ongoing Missouri and Mississippi sampling.PI: Dr Ed Heist Edheist@siu.eduPI/Funding recipients organization: Southern Illinois...
