The US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center, is offering this Cooperative Agreement to a CESU partner for critical ecological research. This grant is specifically for conducting comprehensive studies on the overwintering strategies and long-term population dynamics of imperiled bumble bees. The research will primarily focus on two significantly declined species: the rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) and the western bumble bee (Bombus occidentalis). The objective is to gather essential data on their demography and factors contributing to their precipitous decline over the last two decades, informing crucial conservation and recovery efforts for these vital pollinators within the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
