The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering this grant to fund research on the “Status of butterflies in the United States.” This grant is for conducting a systematic evaluation of trends in butterfly populations to identify at-risk species and understand causal factors. Researchers will estimate species and population-level trends, associating them with butterfly traits and hypothesized environmental drivers. The project involves correlating life history traits like body size, overwintering stage, and voltinism with changes in climate and land use. The ultimate goal is to develop initial conservation plans for regions facing high extinction risk, providing crucial insights into butterfly population dynamics and informing future conservation strategies across the U.S.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity research on “Status of butterflies in the United States.” The project will conduct a systematic evaluation of trends in butterfly populations in order to better understand which species are at risk and why. Researchers are expected to estimate species and population-level trends, associate trends to butterfly traits, and determine impact of hypothesized environmental drivers. Life history traits such as body size, overwintering stage, and voltinism will be estimated and correlated with changes in climate and land use so as to develop initial plans for conservation in regions with high extinction risk. |
