The Department of Interior is offering a grant for conducting research on bat species habitat use and niche partitioning within the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. The primary objective is to assess habitat characteristics influencing species occupancy and community structure in forest habitats. Additionally, the grant aims to study the trophic niche partitioning of targeted bat species in relation to prey availability across different seasons and habitats. The findings will be used to develop conservation management plans considering current and potential conditions impacted by community changes, human land use, and climate change.

| Description: | THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE,AND THERE IS NO FULL ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. This research will address habitat use and niche partitioning of bat species occupying forest habitats within the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. Focusing on Chiroptera, the primary objective of this research will be to evaluate multi-scale habitat characteristics that influence species occupancy and community structure within various forest communities. A secondary objective will be to evaluate trophic niche partitioning of targeted bat species, relative to prey availability, across sample seasons and habitat types. Gained information will be synthesized into conservation management plans reflecting current and potential conditions, as influenced by changes in community composition, human land use patterns and climate change. |
