This grant is for refining the range-wide demographic model for Mountain Plovers. Building upon previous Service-sponsored efforts, the project aims to expand the existing model to be spatially explicit with linked population states. A key objective is to explore novel methodologies for modeling migratory connectivity, using the Mountain Plover as a case study. The project will involve a comprehensive review of both published and unpublished literature to refine the initial model’s parameters. Furthermore, a more complete set of environmental conditions will be integrated into the model, which are crucial for driving the optimization routines essential for Structured Decision Making processes. This research is vital for enhancing conservation strategies for Mountain Plovers.

| Description: | Building on the Service-sponsored Structured Decision Making workshop, this project should refine the preliminary, range-wide demographic model for Mountain Plovers. The model should be expanded to be spatially explicit and have linked population states. Using the Mountain Plover as an example, the project should examine novel ways for modeling migratory connectivity. Parameters in the initial model should be refined by undertaking a thorough review of published and unpublished literature. A more complete set of environmental conditions should be incorporated into the model; these components drive the optimization routines fundamental to Structured Decision Making. |
