The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded $405,294 under the Central Valley Project Conservation (CFDA 15.564) federal grant program to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on the San Joaquin kit fox metapopulation. The research will provide high-resolution connectivity mapping and insights into the impacts of inbreeding depression on population and metapopulation persistence for the federally listed species. The project leverages modern and historical samples to better understand factors behind a significant decline in the kit fox population over the past decade due to rodenticides and disease. Results will assist recovery efforts for the species as required under an Endangered Species Act biological opinion and help the Bureau of Reclamation meet obligations allowing continued operation of the Central Valley Project water infrastructure network while avoiding jeopardy to listed species.
