The USGS Alaska Science Center is offering this grant to provide financial assistance for crucial research. This grant is for the purpose of augmenting, synthesizing, and integrating phylogenetic and species distribution data. The primary goal is to generate robust predictions regarding the future distributions of tundra-associated small mammal species, with a particular focus on Sorex species. This predictive work will be grounded in an analysis of both past and current ecological signatures, contributing vital insights into climate change impacts on these vulnerable ecosystems. Researchers will use existing data to model potential shifts, aiding conservation efforts and ecological understanding.
