This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey, is for a Cooperative Agreement with an affiliated partner of the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The primary purpose is to conduct critical research focused on developing a robust mathematical framework. This framework will be designed to model the intricate patterns and underlying mechanisms that drive deer dispersal and various other movement behaviors. Furthermore, the resulting model will serve as an essential foundation. It will be used to comprehensively assess the risk of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) spread, directly linked to these specific host behaviors. This vital research aims to enhance understanding and inform management strategies for wildlife health.
