The Department of Marine Biology is offering a grant to conduct demographic studies on sea turtles. The grant tasks include developing statistical methodologies specific to sea turtle populations, estimating survival rates, nesting probabilities, recruitment rates, and abundance levels, as well as evaluating sample sizes needed for precision. The results will be communicated to the sea turtle community through reports and publications. Closing date: Sep 01, 2011.

| Description:: | This synopsis is the full annopuncement. The tasks to be performed under this agreement are as follows: (1) Extend or adapt current statistical methodology, design concepts, and software to sea turtle problems, to be able to estimate stage specific survival, fidelity, and movement probabilities, conditional probability of nesting (equivalent to remigration interval), recruitment rate to the breeding life history state, abundance of turtles in the study area (e.g., nesting population), total adult female abundance (those nesting and those that are skipping nesting), proportion of nesters that are neophytes versus remigrants, and /number of nests laid within a season; (2) Use these tools and simulation to evaluate minimum sample sizes needed to achieve desired precision levels for a variety of scenarios pertinent to various sea turtle species, based on published papers and experience with hawksbills and leatherbacks in the Caribbean; and (3) Articulate the results to the sea turtle community, in a report and other publications. |
