The Wildlife Conservation Department is offering this grant to fund a crucial study on spiny softshell turtles within the Missouri River, Montana. This grant is specifically for augmenting recently collected baseline information on this species. Researchers will utilize radio transmitters to meticulously describe daily and seasonal movements, establishing home range sizes. The project aims to determine spring, summer, nesting, and overwintering habitat preferences across four key scales: longitudinal river locations, diverse reach types (confined, unconfined, braided, meandering), specific habitat units (e.g., pool types, secondary channels), and microhabitat characteristics like depth and distance to shore. This research will provide vital ecological insights.

| Description: | To conduct a detailed study to augment the baseline information recently collected on spiny softshell turtles. Using radio transmitters, describe daily and seasonal movements and determine the size of home ranges. To determine spring, summer, nesting, and overwintering habitat preferences at four scales: 1) longitudinal (i.e., river kilometer locations); 2) reach type (i.e., confined, unconfined, braided, meandering); 3) habitat unit (i.e., pool type, crossover, secondary channel), microhabitat (i.e., inside bend, outside bend, distance to shore, depth, substrate). |
