OpportunityTitle: Desert Tortoise Research Barstow
Description: The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement (Agreement) is to conduct research at Marine Corps Logistics Base, Barstow, CA, to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the outcome of twelve (12) 500 m x 500 m plots conducted in the spring versus the fall for the desert tortoise and conduct presence/absence transects at the Yermo Annex Test Track which is approximately 100 acres. This information, collected during a statistically valid research study, will help desert tortoise scientists determine if collecting research data on tortoise plots is better done in the spring or fall. The results of this research could lead to changes in the desert tortoise survey protocol for the southwestern United States. A draft and final report with GIS maps would be the final deliverable.
