The U.S. Geological Survey’s Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC) through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) is providing a grant for research on habitat suitability for five anuran species in the Prairie Pothole Region. The grant aims to replicate a previous study by Mushet et al. (2012) and assess the impact of changing land-cover types, particularly the conversion of grasslands to croplands, on amphibian habitats. Researchers will use both new and existing data to understand changes in amphibian-habitat quality and species occurrence. The closing date for applications is April 16, 2019.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey¿s Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support investigations exploring influences of changing land-cover types (e.g., grassland to cropland) on habitat suitability for five anuran species; northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens), wood frog (Lithobates sylvatica), boreal chorus toad (Pseudacris maculata), Great Plains toad (Anaxyrus cognatus), and Woodhouse¿s toad (Anaxyrus woodhousii). Grassland habitats in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North America are being converted to croplands at an alarming rate. In support of this project, a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partnership will focus on replicating the work conducted by Mushet et al. (2012) and using the new acquired data, in combination with the data collected from the 2008 and 2009 surveys, to explore changes in amphibian-habitat quality and occurrence of species as influence by changes in land cover. |
