The Fish and Wildlife Department is offering research grants to enhance the correct identification of endangered salt marsh harvest mouse species in the field. This grant aims to improve the current identification rate of 50% by analyzing external morphological characters from genetically identified salt marsh harvest mouse and western harvest mouse species. The research is crucial for monitoring, managing, and conserving endangered species like the salt marsh harvest mouse. Applications must be submitted by May 11, 2016, under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1965.

| Description: | Fundamental to monitoring, management and conservation of endangered species is the ability to identify them in the field. Across much of its range the federally listed endangered salt marsh harvest mouse (SMHM) is sympatric with the morphologically similar non-endangered western harvest mouse (WHM). In southern San Francisco Bay, correct identification of harvest mice species stands at ~50%, with the rest misidentified, or categorized to genus only. The proposed research will determine if field species identification can be improved through analyses of external morphological characters from genetically identified salt marsh harvest mouse and western harvest mouse. This grant is awarded under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1965, as amended. |
