This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant is dedicated to conducting a small mammal population study at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, directly supporting the recovery of the threatened Mexican spotted owl (MSO). MSO populations face significant risks from habitat loss due to human activities and climate change. The MSO recovery plan emphasizes the critical need for research to understand the relationships between climate, habitat trends, and the owl’s primary prey species, including woodrats and white-footed mice. This research will provide essential knowledge on habitat stability and the availability of prey resources, which are crucial for sustaining MSO populations within the Colorado Plateau Ecological Management Unit, ultimately aiding in the species’ long-term recovery efforts.

| Description: | The Mexican spotted owl (MSO) is a Threatened Species facing risk of extinction from loss of nest and foraging habitat due to human induced modifications to habitat and climate related changes to vegetation. The revised Mexican spotted owl recovery plan called for research investigating relationships among climate, habitat (e.g., vegetation trends), and primary spotted owl prey, including woodrats (Neotoma) and white-footed mice (Peromyscus). Recovery of spotted owls requires knowledge of habitat stability, including the prey resources needed to support owl populations in the Colorado Plateau Ecological Management Unit. |
