The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a grant through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to partner institutions for critical research. This funding opportunity aims to test whether bat populations are experiencing declines within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Region 3. This grant is specifically for assessing the status of all bat species for which acoustic monitoring data are available across FWS Region 3. Researchers will develop species distribution maps based on occupancy probabilities, complete with 95% confidence errors, utilizing species presence-absence data. This crucial data will be derived from both stationary and mobile acoustic recordings to provide a comprehensive understanding of bat population health and trends in the region.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to test whether bat populations are declining in FWS Region 3. This work will assess the status of all bat species for which acoustic monitoring data are currently available across FWS Region 3 by developing species distribution maps based on occupancy probabilities along with 95% confidence errors using species presence-absence data derived from stationary and mobile acoustic recordings. |
