Department of Natural Resources Grant for Developing Predictive Capacity for Mountain Goats

This grant aims to enhance predictive capacity regarding the demographic trends and habitat response of mountain goats in Glacier National Park and surrounding areas. Objectives include analyzing demographic parameters, body condition indices, nutrition assimilation, and habitat use patterns in relation to climate, snow pack, vegetation productivity, and phenology. The research will inform adaptive management strategies to support the conservation and management of mountain goat populations. The closing date for applications is July 25, 2018.

Description:	The overall goal of this request is to provide predictive capacity about the demography and distributional response of mountain goats in Glacier National Park and other alpine environments on adjacent state, federal, and tribal lands where mountain goats occur. B. Project Objectives â¿¿ The objectives for this request are to: 1) Relate demographic parameters (parturition rates, kid survival, yearling survival) and body condition indices (growth and/or body mass of adult females and juveniles) to annual measurements of climate, snow pack, productivity, and phenology of vegetation on important summer habitats for goats; 2) Relate assimilated nutrition of goats to vegetation productivity and phenology; 3) Relate vegetation and snow conditions to yearly climatic conditions; and 4) Document habitat use by goats on a fine scale during summer, and a coarse scale during winter, to understand patterns and sources of mortality and mountain-goat productivity.
