The Western Ecological Research Center of the USGS is offering a Cooperative Agreement grant through the Californian CESU Program for a project focused on understanding landscape connectivity for mule deer in Southern California. This research aims to investigate the genetic patterns and local population sizes of mule deer in relation to the impact of highways on their habitat. The study seeks to determine if mule deer face similar genetic barriers as other species in the region. Applications are due by Jan 16, 2015.

| Description: | The Western Ecological Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a Cooperative Agreement to one Member University of the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The project is titled ¿Landscape Genetics of Mule Deer in Southern California¿ This project is aimed at gaining a better understanding of landscape connectivity for mule deer in Southern California, by examining genetics and local population sizes. Several highways in southern California have been identified as genetic barriers for carnivores and other taxa. However, mule deer, have not yet been examined at the same landscape scale to determine if their genetics follow patterns similar to other species, such as bobcats and mountain lions. While mule deer live at higher population densities than carnivores, deer appear to have fewer opportunities for safely crossing highways than the carnivore species around which much connectivity conservation planning is based. The height of deer precludes them from using some undercrossing structures that are accessed by carnivores, and their behavioral ecology and need to avoid predators may make deer more selective about crossing locations. |
