This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner, is for research focused on refining population dynamics modeling. Understanding these dynamics and dispersal is vital for addressing critical conservation management challenges, including disease, invasive species, and climate change impacts. The research should investigate questions such as the interactions of amphibian disease and co-infection, nutria impacts on marsh loss, or the dispersal and management of giant apple snails. Successful models must be spatially explicit, utilizing structured or individual-based population approaches, and specifically designed to address various management scenarios for effective conservation strategies within the Gulf Coast region.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support refinement of modeling of population dynamics. Understanding population and dispersal dynamics is critical for understanding a large number of conservation management issues including disease, invasive species, and dispersal under climate change scenarios. For example, we would like one or more of the following questions addressed: (1) The interactions of between amphibian disease, dispersal and co-infection; (2) nutria (Myocastor coypus) impacts on marsh loss and management; (3) dispersal and management of giant apple snails (Pomacea maculata). The model should be spatially explicit, with structured or individual based population approaches whereby management scenarios are addressed. |
