About this award

This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.615) will support the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) in validating ensemble species distribution models (ESDMs) for 52 unionid mussel species in Texas through follow-up field surveys. The proposed study builds upon an existing TPWD-funded project focused on developing ESDMs for these species, but does not include the critical step of ground-truthing the models. This federal grant will enable TPWD to conduct field surveys to evaluate the accuracy of the ESDMs in predicting the true underlying distributions of the 52 unionid mussel species across Texas. The award has a performance period from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027.

Description

The proposed study is an enhancement of an existing project funded by texas parks and wildlife, which focuses on the development of ensemble species distribution models (esdm) for all 52 unionid mussel species in texas but does not include ground-truthing. Validating esdms through follow-up field surveys is important for evaluating their accuracy to predict the true underlying distribution of species.
