This grant is for the recovery of the Kern Primrose Sphinx moth (Euproserpinus euterpe) on BLM land and other federal property, particularly within the Carrizo Plain National Monument. The awarded entity will conduct critical surveys and monitoring to guide future recovery actions. Key activities include ongoing field surveys to map the moth’s current distribution, developing a pheromone lure to enhance survey efficiency, and investigating parasites and parasitoids impacting population dynamics. Additionally, the project involves creating an environmental model (Maxent) to inform future survey efforts and potential reintroduction attempts. A crucial component is characterizing the species’ genetic status relative to sister taxa, ensuring comprehensive data for conservation strategies.

| Description: | The recipient will conduct surveys, monitoring and other means necessary to guide recovery actions for the Kern Primrose Sphinx moth on BLM land and other federal property. The surveys and monitoring involves five related projects. 1. Continuing surveys for the moth (Euproserpinus euterpe) in the field to better understand current distribution. 2. Development of a pheromone lure to make future surveys more effective. 3. Investigation of the parasites and parasitoids that might influence population dynamics. 4. Develop a first-pass environmental model (Maxent) to guide future surveys and potential reintroduction attempts. 5. Characterize the genetic status of the species relative to sister taxa. |
