Description
First, among the most pressing threats to the pecos gambusia is hybridization with invasive near relatives. Thus, a genomic characterization of gambusia populations in new mexico is long overdue, and is directly and indirectly related to many plan tasks outlined in the species recovery plan (relevant priority actions: monitor populations priority 2 regulate the introduction of novel fishes into the gambusia habitat priority 2 determine systematic relationships within g. Nobilis priority 3 reestablish pecos gambusia within portions of its historic range priority 3 preclude immigration of novel fishes priority 3 remove exotic fishes priority 3 ). Second, application of n-mixture modeling will provide an understanding of population abundance between and among currently occupied sites and inform the relationship between abundance and environmental covariates among habitat types (relevant priority actions: monitor populations priority 2 study ecological factors priority 3 ). Finally, delisting the pecos gambusia can only occur if current populations are maintained or augmented and new populations are established. We argue that recently formed sinkholes could offer a unique opportunity to establish new populations of these fish and provide genetic and population redundancy of extant populations. Establishing new populations will require identifying and monitoring newly formed and unoccupied sinkholes for habitat suitability and genetic and ecological assessment of extant populations to maximize success (relevant priority actions: survey habitats prior to reintroduction of g. Nobilis (priority 3) select reintroduction sites (priority 3)).
