The Department of Conservation is offering a grant to conduct a 3-year project studying the population dynamics of threatened piping plovers on the Niobrara River in Nebraska. The project aims to estimate survival and reproductive output of the birds, explore their connection to breeding populations in the Great Plains, and analyze their habitat relationship using imagery and monitoring data. The grant is open for applications until January 12, 2015.

| Description: | The 3-year project would document the population dynamics of threatened piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) on the Niobrara River in northeastern Nebraska, including the 39-mile and 59-mile segments of the Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) during the 20152016 breeding seasons. Specifically, the project will estimate survival and reproductive output of birds nesting on sandbars on the lower Niobrara, as well as the connection of these birds to the breeding populations throughout the Great Plains. Additionally, the project will examine the relationship between these birds and their habitat using remotely-sensed imagery and monitoring data from various groups and locations along the Niobrara. |
