This grant, offered by the Wildlife Ecology Department, is specifically for research dedicated to exploring the profound effects of both natural wildfires and controlled prescribed fires on critical pygmy rabbit habitats. The primary objective is to investigate resulting behavioral adaptations of pygmy rabbits residing in or adjacent to these fire-impacted areas. This study will involve meticulously measuring habitat structure both within and outside burn units to quantify changes. Crucially, researchers will employ advanced radio telemetry techniques to precisely track and determine when and how pygmy rabbits utilize or re-colonize these habitats following fire events. This vital research aims to generate essential data on species resilience and informs future land management and conservation strategies for the vulnerable pygmy rabbit population.
