Project Spotlight
老虎机攻略 Graduate Student Partners with Montana Agencies to Study Population Changes in Harlequin Ducks Holli Holmes, 老虎机攻略, is leading a collaborative study funded by Glacier National Park, the U.S. Forest Service, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) and several conservation nonprofits to figure out the best way to count this native species, the harlequin duck. Historically, biologists have relied on foot surveys, hiking miles up a stream looking for these ducks. The graduate project involves setting up remote cameras alongside streams, hiking miles up and down a stream looking for ducks and a newer technology called environmental DNA that detects whether harlequins have been in the stream. The results of this study will be used by agency wildlife managers to estimate population changes in this native duck species. For more information, go to the .
