Progress 10/01/13 to 09/30/14
Outputs Target Audience: I have worked closely with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on endangered species assessment and monitoring. We have completed several IUCN Red List updates in 2013 – 2014 and these were broadly communicated by IUCN and Texas A&M University to the general public, with coverage on national and international sites like CNN and the BBC, including explicit mention of Texas A&M University.I have also worked closely with Bat Conservation International (BDI) on research activities in Texas and Mexico. Additional funds for the bat research in Mexico was provided by the Mohammed biz Zayed Species Conservation Funds, and this project was featured on their international web site. Another project focused on conservation on private lands in Costa Rica, and we interacted closely government agencies, local conservation organizations, and private landowners. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? All of my graduate students have obtained support from a variety of sources including the Texas A&M University Diversity and Merit Fellowships, the National Science Foundation, CONACYT Mexico, Bat Conservation International, Mohammed bin Zayed Species Conservaiton Fund, National Park Service, Global Biodievrsity Information Facility, American Society of Mammalogists, the Brazilian government (CAPES), EarthWatch and other miscellaneous funds. This has allow me to offer excellent opportunities for professional development. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Through the publication of peer-reviewed journal articles, presenations at national and international congresses, publications on web sites, and interviews with the press. We have also enganged local communities and private landowners in both Costa Rica and Mexico in our research and outreach activities. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? We have 2 NSF proposals in review and one additional in the planning stages. In addition I am working with a potential private donor to obtain additional support for our ICN related projects.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1: We continue to develop new approaches to assessing the status of biodiversity in the field. This includes applications of GIS and remote sensing data to conservation activities in Costa Rica and Mexico, use of community-bsed conservation initiatives in Mexico, and application of genetic data to the conservation of macaws in Peru. Objective 2: I have continued to expand my collaborations with the IUCN on international conservation efforts. I am now the co-cahir of the Small Mammal Specialist Group and I am actively involved in the reassessment of the world's mammals regarding their extinction risk. We are also dveloping collaborations to assist in the GlobalAmphibian Assessment.. Objective 3: I currently advise 3 PhD students and 2 MS students working on activities related to this objective. This year I also co-advised a visiting Brazilian PhD student working on bat conservation.

Another project focused on conservation on private lands in Costa Rica, and we interacted closely with local organizations and private landowners. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Emma Gomez (Ph.D. Candidate). Evaluation of the conservation status of the Mexican long-nosed bat and agaves, an important plant-pollinator complex. Margot Wood (Ph.D. Candidate). An assessment of the role of Payment for Ecosystem Service programs in Costa Rica in enhancing corridors for the conservation of biodiversity. Gabriela Vigo Trauco (Ph.D. Candidate). Conservation and ecology of macaw populations in the Peruvian Amazon. Kelsey Neam (M.S. student). Effect of fragmented habistts on mammalian movement and diispersal. Cryss Arkenberg (M.S. graduate). The role of animal behavior in conseravtion of tropical canids. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Yes. Alrhough most of the projects are currently in progress we have interacted at all levels with university communications, local organizations and governments, local communities, and landowners. This is a key part of all of our research activities, since conservation cannot proceed without the cooperation of local stakeholders. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? We will be starting additional work in the Gulf of Mexico in 2014 to use IUCN data to assist in the assessment of potential risk of future oil spills to fish, birds, sea turtles and marine mammals in the Gulf. I will also be starting a project in Uganda to develop programs in environmental science and impact assessment at Makarere University in Kampala, to better respond to impacts from future oil development in Uganda.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1. We are developing a new modeling protocol to assess the impact of programs for the Payment of Ecosystem Services on conservation value of private lands in Costa Rica. This will involve biodiversity surveys and evaluation of costs and benefits of the investments. Objective 2. I have been appointed Co-Chair of the Small Mammal Specialist Group of the IUCN, tasked with assisting in the assessment of global extinction risk of approximately 2,800 species of mammals (over half of all mammals) across three mammalian orders (Rodentia, Scandentia, and Eulipotyphla), as part of the reassessment of extinction risk of all the world's mammals. Objective 3. I currently advise 4 graduate students (3 Ph.D. and 1 M.S.) and graduated a M.S. student during the past year. All are working on activities related to my primary objectives of monitoring and assessment of global biodiversity.

Progress 01/01/12 to 12/31/12
Outputs OUTPUTS: This was the first year for this new CRIS project so efforts were focused on the development of research activities for new cohorts of graduate students and enhancing my collaborations with international conservation programs. The following graduate student research projects are now underway and funded: Emma P. Gomez-Ruiz, B.S., Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, M.S., Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Unidad Durango - Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, project: Coevolved species complexes and conservation corridors: Leptonycteris nivalis and Agave. Margot Wood, B.S., University of California, Davis - Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, project: Mammalian ecology and behavior in landscape matrices. Gabriela Vigo Trauco, B.S. and M.S., Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, Lima, Peru - Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, project: Scarlet macaw reproductive ecology: determining ecological factors affecting reproduction. In addition two new MS students were recruited (Crystal Arkenberg and Kelsey Neam); they are currently developing research topics. One PhD student successfully defended her dissertation: Laura Weber, B.A., American University, M.A., University of Arizona - Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, project: "Cultural values and conservation: do individualism, collectivism and locus of control correlate with conservation effectiveness around Iwokrama Forest, Guyana" I developed and submitted three major research proposals: NSF - COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Application and Validation of Land-Use and Climate Change Scenario Model Predictions of Extinction Risk at Multiple Scales. - In Review: $760,986.00. THE WALTON FAMILY FOUNDATION: BioGoMx - Building Capacity and Decision Support for Risk Assessment and Marine Biodiversity Conservation in the Gulf of Mexico. In review $100,000. NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE FOUNDATION: Building Capacity and Decision Support for Risk Assessment and Marine Biodiversity Conservation in the Gulf of Mexico. In review $225,000. Several smaller proposals were also funded from Bat Conservation International and Texas A&M University. It was a very successful year in initiating a new CRIS project and developing the research capacity through student recruitment and proposal development. Four peer-reviewed publications were also generated. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were doctoral students (Margot Wood, Emma Gomez, Gabriela Vigo Trauco), masters students (Crystal Arkenberg, Kelsey Neam) and undergraduate researchers (Rebecca Langley, Rachel Saker). I also collaborated with scholars and researchers from the IUCN offices, as well as numerous faculty colleagues. TARGET AUDIENCES: The primary target audience of this research is natural resources management personnel, conservation scientists, and state, national and international agencies focused on natural resources and conservation. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
Impacts This project made great progress on establishing strong research activities for participating graduate students. We were successful in obtaining funding to support their activities, as well as funding for undergraduate participation in research. In addition I was appointed to several positions within IUCN to lead global conservation efforts. As a result we collaborated on several proposals currently in review.
