This grant is for research to improve ungulate genetics understanding in national parks, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center. It aims to advance understanding of mountain ungulate population structure, movements, and trends, particularly for mountain goats and bighorn sheep. CESU Partner Geneticists and NOROCK ecologists will collaborate with park partners to inform resource management. The initiative involves prioritizing samples, developing new genetic loci, and applying advanced techniques. This research will provide crucial context for other studies and aid management decisions concerning recreation and visitor use for these iconic transboundary populations.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to improve understanding of ungulate genetics in national parks. The proposed project will advance the ability to understand population structure, movements, and trend of mountain ungulates. CESU Partner Geneticists and research ecologists at Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center will work with park partners to inform resource management decisions. Prioritizing the most useful samples, developing new genetic loci suitable for these objectives, and using the latest techniques for evaluating these important components of population characteristics can help provide the context for other studies on mountain goats and bighorn sheep and for management decisions related to recreation and visitor use for this iconic transboundary population. |
