The USGS is offering a grant to a CESU partner for research on wild horses and burros in the western USA. The research will focus on various aspects such as population estimation, genetic structure using fecal DNA, habitat modeling, radio collar development, fertility control, behavioral ecology, and habitat selection. The studies will target wild horse populations in the Rocky Mountain region and Great Basin ecosystem. Deadline for applications is August 22, 2014.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research on the ecology of wild horses and burros across the western USA. Specific studies will investigate population size estimation, genetic structure of wild horse populations determined using fecal DNA, ecological and carrying capacity modeling, developing a suitable and safe radio collar for wild horses and burros, fertility control, behavioral ecology, habitat selection modeling, and sentinel demography research on several wild horse populations that occur within the Rocky Mountain region and Great Basin ecosystem. |
