This grant from the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge focuses on managing and enhancing critical winter habitat and invertebrate prey to boost the survival and reproduction of insectivorous species, particularly Arctic Grayling. This initiative aims to maximize food resources for birds, mammals, and fish that rely on insects. The work involves assessing how management and climate influence habitat and invertebrate communities over time and space, and subsequently determining their impact on insect-dependent species. This research is vital for developing effective resource management practices, helping the Refuge achieve its conservation goals outlined in its Comprehensive Conservation Plan.
