OpportunityTitle: Landscape Factors Influencing functional connectivity for Greater Sage-grouse
CategoryExplanation: This Single Source Award is being awarded in accordance with Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B (4) Unique Qualifications - The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability, if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications, which allows for award without competition to an applicant.
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This is a Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Cooperative Agreement to Dr. Brad Fedy (Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo) for the purpose of researching landscape factors that influence functional connectivity for greater sage-grouse.
Description: 1) establish biologically meaningful groupings for the landscape genetic analyses, 2) develop and compare set of ecologically relevant resistance surfaces that represent ecological hypotheses describing genetic connectivity for sage-grouse within each geographic grouping, and 3) use existing lek locations as current nodes and estimate current flow (i.e., predicted probability of movement) to establish movement corridors within each grouping.
