This grant is for the purpose of monitoring vegetation and tamarisk beetle (Diorhabda elongata) dynamics to assess their indirect impact on federally listed southwestern willow flycatchers. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through a cooperative agreement with the Utah Division of Wildlife, this study differs from previous research that focused on beetle efficacy for saltcedar management. Instead, it specifically investigates how tamarisk beetle-induced defoliation of saltcedar plants, where flycatchers nest, affects their nesting success. The project’s primary concern is to determine the potential threat this defoliation poses to the recovery of flycatcher populations, making this relationship between beetles, defoliation, and nesting success a critical area of focus.

The purpose of this study is to monitor vegetation and tamarisk beetle (Diorhabda elongata ) dynamics, to contribute toward assessing the impact of the beetle on nesting southwestern willow flycatchers.Most studies involving Tamarisk beetles to date have been structured to assess and/or improve the efficacy of the beetles as a suppression tool for saltcedar management and vegetation community restoration. This study is fundamentally different in that it is intended is to determine the indirect impact of the beetles on the federally listed southwestern willow flycatcher by means of defoliating the saltcedar plants they nest in. The focus of this project on the relationship between beetles/defoliation and nesting success is of primary concern at this point because it poses the greatest potential threat to the recovery of flycatcher populations. |
