The BLM CA CESU department is offering this grant to investigate the critical dynamics and connectivity of the northern giant kangaroo rat metapopulation, specifically within the Panoche/Ciervo range. This grant is for the purpose of advancing the understanding of this species’ genetic structure and movement. Researchers will sample 10-20 animals across 20-30 sites, utilizing over 12 microsatellite loci to achieve key objectives. The project aims to precisely determine the number of discrete populations, assess the magnitude and directionality of gene flow to identify source and sink populations, and locate intermediate stepping-stone populations. This comprehensive research is vital, as a clear understanding of connectivity and gene flow in this fragmented population is essential for developing informed management strategies and supporting the recovery of the giant kangaroo rat.

| Description: | The project will investigate the dynamics and connectivity of the northern, i.e., Panoche/Ciervo, giant kangaroo rat metapopulation by sampling 10-20 animals at each of 20-30 sampling sites with a suite of >12 of microsatellite loci. Aims are to determine (1) the number of discrete populations present, (2) the magnitude and directionality of gene flow among populations, thus identifying both source and sink populations, and (3) identification of intermediate stepping-stone populations. Understanding the connectivity and directionality of gene flow in this fragmented population is vital for the informed management and recovery of the giant kangaroo rat in the northern portion of its range. |
