The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity through the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) for a research initiative. This grant is specifically designed to improve critical data collection for the endangered California Clapper Rail. The project’s primary objectives include enhancing presence/absence survey methodologies, developing models for species occupancy, and effectively detecting the rail’s presence, particularly in marshes that are challenging to access. Additionally, the funding will facilitate the documentation of rail colonization in newly established or restored marsh habitats. The research will strategically employ Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) as a key tool to achieve these comprehensive goals, ultimately providing essential information for the long-term conservation and successful management of this vital avian species.
