This grant from the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU, is offering funding to a partner for research to refine modeling of population dynamics. Research topics include addressing interactions of amphibian disease, dispersal, and co-infection, nutria impacts on marsh loss and management, and dispersal of giant apple snails. The model should incorporate spatially explicit, structured or individual-based population approaches to address various management scenarios. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for conservation management strategies, especially under scenarios of disease, invasive species, and climate change impacts. Closing date for applications is Jul 29, 2013.

| Description:: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support refinement of modeling of population dynamics. Understanding population and dispersal dynamics is critical for understanding a large number of conservation management issues including disease, invasive species, and dispersal under climate change scenarios. For example, we would like one or more of the following questions addressed: (1) The interactions of between amphibian disease, dispersal and co-infection; (2) nutria (Myocastor coypus) impacts on marsh loss and management; (3) dispersal and management of giant apple snails (Pomacea maculata). The model should be spatially explicit, with structured or individual based population approaches whereby management scenarios are addressed. |
