This department is offering a grant to examine the migratory and wintering pathways, breeding, and migratory behavior of Saltmarsh Sparrows. The project will use nanotag tracking studies and genetic markers to identify areas crucial for conservation. It aims to understand migration movements, marsh usage during migration, and potential wintering destinations. By analyzing breeding populations and migratory connections at a fine scale, the grant seeks to aid regional conservation planning for this species of high conservation concern. Funding supports efforts to address declining populations and climate change threats.

| Description: | This project provides information to examine migratory and wintering pathways and breeding and migratory behavior for Saltmarsh Sparrows. Data from nanotag tracking studies will be combined with genetic marker research to identify areas that are important to conserve for Saltmarsh Sparrows. Nanotag data will reveal information on the timing and duration of migration movements, how sparrows use the marshes before and during migration, and possibly their destination on the wintering grounds. High resolution genetic tags will identify fine-scale relationships among breeding populations and their migratory connections as well as their wintering grounds location on a scale that is informative for regional conservation planning. Saltmarsh sparrows are of the highest conservation concern due to declining populations and vulnerability to climate change. |
