Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on the ecology of wild [equids], mountain lions, and other ungulates in the Western USA. Studies will be field- based and will be conducted across several states, primarily in Nevada. The National Academies of Science (NAS) conducted a science review of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse and burro program. An outcome of this NAS review was a number of recommendations for new research, identification of data gaps and knowledge needs. The aim is to fill some of those data needs with collaborative research conducted jointly by USGS and CESU partners. This funding opportunity is to investigate the interactions of mountain lions and wild horses across the Western USA. Specifically, will evaluate the role of wild horses in native predator-prey systems, in herds that span the Rocky Mountain region and Great Basin ecosystems.
