Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: This is a "Notice of Intent" of a single source task agreement award to the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO under the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The principal investigator is the O'Connor Distinguished Professor of Wildlife Management at the University of Missouri and an Adjunct in the Department of Statistics. PI is an internationally recognized expert on design and analysis of wildlife field studies and the integration of research and wildlife management. PI has supervised numerous field projects in the Black Hills region, including occupancy studies similar to that implemented in this project.
Grant Description: The objectives of this project are threefold. First, we will assess the current species occurrence and abundance of small mammals throughout MORU using parkwide sample of plots and to examine how these parameters vary among unthinned forests, those that underwent thinning and chipping treatments, and those that underwent thinning and piling/burning treatments. Second, species colonization/local extinction dynamics will be assessed by combining data with a similar data set conducted prior to 2010 fuels treatments. Third, based on these results, potential management implications will be assessed collaboratively with MORU managers and NPS regional fire managers/ecologists to maximize the practical value of the information
