What This Grant Funds

U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity research on “Status of butterflies in the United States.” The project will conduct a systematic evaluation of trends in butterfly populations in order to better understand which species are at risk and why. Researchers are expected to estimate species and population-level trends, associate trends to butterfly traits, and determine impact of hypothesized environmental drivers. Life history traits such as body size, overwintering stage, and voltinism will be estimated and correlated with changes in climate and land use so as to develop initial plans for conservation in regions with high extinction risk.
