Determine the distribution, status, life history, and ecology of regional priority at risk cuckoo bumblebees and bumblebees throughout USFWS Region 5. Test effects of habitat availability, land use and land cover, and management actions on regional priority pollinator species and associated species. Attain more information on plant-pollinator networks priority pollinator species to guide vegetation restoration and management for conservation of at-risk, priority pollinator species and pollinators broadly.
US Fish and Wildlife Service Northeast Region Areas of Agreement Map, version 2. Composed of 4 conservation designs: Nature’s Network, NatureServe’s Map of Biodiversity Importance, Esri’s Green Infrastructure, The Nature Conservancy’s Resilient and Connected Networks. Each layer is coded as a 1, so the number of layers is indicative of how many layers overlap in a given area. The concept is that if multiple analyses indicate an area is important for conservation, then it is likely to have a higher importance than other areas. This approach offers a couple of advantages: it is not necessary to “choose” a single conservation design over others, and it narrows down where the most important areas may be for conservation...
This layer represents forest resource priorities in the Highlands region. This layer is intended to inform grant proposals for the Highlands Conservation Act. The Highlands Conservation Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to provide financial assistance to the States of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania (Highland States) to preserve and protect high priority conservation land in the Highlands region.This layer ranges from 0 to 14 (with 14 being highest priorities for forest conservation in the region). The layer prioritizes areas that are important for forest connectivity (using the UMassDSL forest connectivity layer), high forest carbon storage in 2050 (using the TNC forest layer), and...

The Fish and Wildlife Program of the Seneca Nation works to protect and restore natural resources on their lands. They have an interest in creating a small pollinator restoration area to serve as a demonstration area and gain experience to conduct larger restorations on disturbed areas. This project provides support to theSeneca nation in the form of Service staff expertice as well as financial support for establishing a pollinator friendly plot.
Funds will be used to establish a new program for raising Chesapeake logperch at the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s Union City Hatchery. Fish will supply reintroduction and population augmentation efforts in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
The fauna and flora of the Pribilof Islands, Alaska, are unique and include many taxa restricted to the central Bering Sea region. The islands, which includes St. George and St. Paul Island, have undergone substantial ecological change this past century through a combination of anthropogenic resource use and climate-mediated alterations to both ocean and terrestrial ecosystems. These islands and their natural resources are managed by Alaska Native Village Corporations (include the list here), the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. An assessment of land cover types is needed for the islands to 1) help these land owners better understand the status and...
Source seed is not currently available for commercial vendors to grow native thistles in sufficient quantities for restoration projects. This project will address this shortage by collecting seed of pasture thistle (Cirsium pumilum), field thistle (C. discolor) and swamp thistle (C. muticum) from locations known to regional botanists. These seeds will be provided to a seed vendor that will have them genetically validated. They will then use these seeds to produce native thistles in quantities needed for pollinator restoration projects.
New Hampshire Fish and Game will use the funds to support captive rearing of White Mountain fritillary. By raising these butterflies in captivity, conservationists will learn key life history traits, including determining suitable host plants, which will help in determining habitat availability. The captive colony will help conservationists understand demographic characteristics of the species and inform protocols for raising the species requires augmentation in the future.
A data management plan (DMP) helps staff identify and plan to support the data management needs of a project. This document provides guidance on how to develop a DMP and identifies the items that should be considered to help ensure that data and associated products are documented, discoverable, accessible and secure throughout their useful lifespan. A DMP: 1) identifies key data management roles, 2) identifies project staff that will fill those roles and perform the associated duties and 3) summarizes how data are acquired, used, maintained and distributed. Any non-standard workflows, security requirements or access restrictions should be emphasized in the DMP.The information in a DMP is used by project staff to...

In the last two decades, the spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby) has killed >1.5 million ha of forest in Southcentral Alaska, and more than 350,000 cumulative hectares have been impacted since 2016. We need to understand what landscape and climate conditions predispose forests to stand level mortality during beetle outbreaks in order to identify areas most prone to beetle disturbance and to support the development of appropriate climatic indices that can serve as early warning of outbreaks. The goal of this project is to determine what initiated the recent beetle-kill event on the Kenai Peninsula so that appropriate indices can be monitored and/or effective adaptation strategies can be taken for future...
In an effort to address intuitive observations on changes in the natural environment, Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC), is currently developing a mobile-device app designed primary for use by rural community members to record and archive observations on the natural environment. Here, we propose to complete the development phase and implement a public outreach and educational phase of community-based monitoring (CBM) across the Yukon and Upper Kuskokwim river basins - primarily in Alaska Native villages (however, not exclusive). Our effort will focus on subject matters relating to non-salmon fish, migratory waterfowl and will consider water temperature measurements, as part of a broader initiative by TCC to develop...
Science Applications obtained support for developing current condition reports that describes the taxonomic status of species, important life history details, and their biological needs. Additionally, threats to the species are described along with the species’ current status. These reports provide a critical synopsis of the species and will be used to inform conservation strategies that secure their future viability.
A mission of the Science Applications program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to provide a partnership where the conservation community can guide more effective conservation actions in the face of resource threats amplified by a rapidly changing climate. To accomplish this mission, critical needs exist to 1) develop scientific information and tools for conservation prioritization and decision making and 2) facilitate delivery and adoption of these science products by partners operating at multiple spatial scales with varying approaches to conservation. Extending the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) Designing Sustainable Landscape (DSL) project (McGarigal et al. 2017) sponsored by Science Applications...
