Bumble bee populations have decreased rapidly in the past 25 years resulting in the IUCN Red List identifying 12 species, more than 25% of all species in America north of Mexico, as species of conservation concern. The Great Plains is the mixing pot for eastern and western species, with historic records for 22 bumble bee species (nearly 50% of the North American fauna), including eight species identified as threatened by the IUCN Red List and four species currently listed as threatened, endangered, or petitioned for T&E status and at least two more that may be petitioned in the near future.

This project will partially support a PhD student at South Dakota State University (SDSU) advised by a diverse partnership engaged in wetlands conservation in SD (e.g., USFWS, SDGFP, NRCS, PPJV, NGOs). It will use recent advancements in remote sensing technology and analytical frameworks to identify the location and type of drained wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region of eastern South Dakota. There will be multiple practical uses of these data, with the following hierarchical objectives, which may be expanded as resources allow: 1) quantify, spatially delineate, and classify drained wetland basins in eastern South Dakota and compile them in a format useable by habitat delivery constituents (e.g., USFWS, USDA-NRCS,...
