Grant Description
The project will investigate the dynamics and connectivity of the northern, i.e., Panoche/Ciervo, giant kangaroo rat metapopulation by sampling 10-20 animals at each of 20-30 sampling sites with a suite of >12 of microsatellite loci. Aims are to determine (1) the number of discrete populations present, (2) the magnitude and directionality of gene flow among populations, thus identifying both source and sink populations, and (3) identification of intermediate stepping-stone populations. Understanding the connectivity and directionality of gene flow in this fragmented population is vital for the informed management and recovery of the giant kangaroo rat in the northern portion of its range.
