Description
These EX situ breeding and rearing efforts have produced more poweshiek skipperlings in human care than ever before, and are now serving as a vital insurance population and source for future translocations. This necessitates additional rearing and monitoring equipment and facilities upgrades at the minnesota ZOO. To safely accommodate the additional poweshiek skipperling individuals, the minnesota ZOO must keep them quarantined as much as possible from concurrent large rearing and breeding operations with the federally threatened dakota skipper. We require equipment and supplies for separate husbandry operations, new laboratory-grade hibernation freezer growth chambers for diapause and seasonal transitions, an expanded microclimate monitoring system, and as well as materials to upgrade and or RE-purpose existing facilities into dedicated rearing and breeding spaces.
