The Western Ecological Research Center of the USGS is offering a grant through the Californian CESU Program for a project focusing on Southwestern Pond Turtle genetics in Southern California. The aim is to study the genetic dispersal and local population sizes to enhance existing populations and establish new ones. The project seeks to ensure the long-term survival of the species by increasing population numbers and establishing self-sustaining occurrences in suitable habitats. Applications are open until July 31, 2015.

| Description: | The Western Ecological Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to one Member of the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The project is titled ���Southwestern Pond Turtle (Emys marmorata pallida) Genetics in Southern California��� This project is aimed at gaining a better understanding of genetic dispersal of Southwestern Pond Turtles in Southern California, by examining genetics and local population sizes. With very few populations showing successful recruitment, the regional goal includes enhancing existing populations and establishing new populations within the MSP: ���Protect and enhance existing populations of southwestern pond turtle to self-sustaining levels (i.e. 200+ individuals, even sex ratio, evidence of recruitment) in areas that meet the conditions for long-term management (low human access; high naturalness) and create new self-sustaining occurrences to ensure persistence over the long-term (>100 years)���. |
