The Pacific Island Ecosystem Research Center (PIERCE) is offering this cooperative agreement for critical research initiatives within Haleakala National Park. This grant is for the comprehensive study and conservation of the iconic Haleakala silversword. It aims to establish an accurate baseline map and conduct a thorough census of silversword subpopulations, alongside developing a robust monitoring protocol for tracking annual population trends. An equally vital component of this research focuses on investigating the spatial dynamics and detrimental effects of the invasive Argentine ant on local insect pollinators, and their subsequent impact on the rates of seed set in the Haleakala silversword, addressing a critical threat to the species’ reproductive success.
