The USGS is offering a grant to CESU partners for research on mammal community composition in areas affected by Burmese pythons, focusing on Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. This grant aims to advance understanding of Greater Everglades restoration efforts and the impact of environmental changes on ecosystem restoration. Through cutting-edge monitoring and modeling tools, researchers will investigate how mammal communities in the Everglades are influenced by the presence of Burmese pythons. This opportunity is in alignment with USGS’s ongoing ecological and hydrologic research to support Greater Everglades restoration in South Florida.
