The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to CESU-affiliated partners to conduct innovative research on mammal community dynamics in South Florida and the Everglades. This grant is specifically for exploring the impacts of Burmese python predation pressure on mammal populations, utilizing cutting-edge monitoring and modeling tools. The USGS conducts vital ecological and hydrologic research in support of Greater Everglades restoration efforts. This funding opportunity aims to advance the understanding of how environmental changes, particularly invasive species like Burmese pythons, influence ecosystem restoration and resilience. The insights gained will contribute valuable information for decision-making and adaptive management throughout long-term restoration projects in the region.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for innovative research on mammal community dynamics in areas impacted and seemingly unimpacted by Burmese pythons. The USGS Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science (Davie, FL) and Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (Gainesville, FL) is offering a funding opportunity for research and technical assistance relevant to: Impacts on mammal communities in areas with Burmese python predation pressure. The USGS conducts ecological and hydrologic research and monitoring in support of Greater Everglades restoration efforts throughout South Florida, in conjunction with its Federal, State, and local partners. Research conducted by USGS scientists and their research partners advances the understanding of the Greater Everglades restoration and the potential influence of environmental change on ecosystem restoration and resilience. USGS’s research provides valuable information which contributes to decision-making during restoration and adaptive management throughout long-term restoration projects. The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to CESU partners with the capability to use cutting-edge monitoring and modeling tools to explore how mammal communities in the Everglades are impacted by presence of Burmese pythons. |
