This department is offering a grant for researching the food sources of APC chicks historically and presently, studying diet shifts in post-release animals influenced by seasons and years, investigating if changes to a C3 diet are due to choice or availability at APCNWR, and analyzing carbon and nitrogen content of plant material and insects consumed by APCs at APCNWR. The grant aims to correlate these findings with the profiles of APC individuals at the refuge. Deadline: Aug 15, 2011.

Additional Information
| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity for research to document food sources used by APC chicks historically and contemporaneously, to elucidate diet switches in post-release animals, and to determine whether these switches are affected by season and year; determine if the apparent switch to diets dominated by plants and insects with C3 signatures from the diet mix of C4 and C3 plants provided to captives is a consequence of choice or availability at the APCNWR; characterize the carbon and nitrogen content of selected plant material and insect biomass used by APCs at the APC National Wildlife Refuge (APCNWR) and correlate it with the profile obtained in blood and feather samples of individuals currently occurring at the Refuge. |
