www.nbii.gov — Natural resource managers face complex decisions that require a clear understanding of the status of wildlife populations and their habitats. Monitoring is key to making effective management decisions and evaluating the outcomes of those decisions. The goal of NRMP is to improve the accessibility of monitoring efforts to resource managers to aid More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership (NRMP) is a collaborative effort by the natural resource management community to improve monitoring efforts in order to support effective evaluation and decision-making by sharing information on monitoring projects and protocols. The Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership was built for easy access to More...

biology.usgs.gov — How is avian pox and malaria impacting native Hawaiian honeycreepers? USGS scientists in Hawaii conduct surveys, develop new diagnostic tools, and test management strategies to understand the impacts of these introduced vector borne diseases on native Hawaiian wildlife.

biology.usgs.gov — USGS scientists build on the research of ornithologists in the 1800's and 1950's to show whether native Hawaiian birds are in fact highly susceptable to mosquito-transmitted avian diseases such as pox and malaria. The results help explain current population patterns and could potentially aid resource managers in selecting birds for restoration in More...

biology.usgs.gov — Many native Hawaiian forest birds have become endangered and extinct, possibly due to introduced avian diseases. Scientists use genetics, long term studies, and sentinel chickens and canaries to learn the prevalence and impacts of malaria and avian pox on native Hawaiian forest birds.

alaska.usgs.gov — This study examines the likelihood that migratory birds will transmit highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza from Asia to North America, using Northern Pintails (Anas acuta) as a model for viral transmission. Evaluating exchange of avian-borne pathogens between Asia and North America by migratory birds requires an understanding of where birds More...

alaska.usgs.gov — This project investigates the role of wild migratory birds in the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1. Scientists will determine the precise migratory routes and use of Asian stopover areas by Alaska-breeding Bar-tailed Godwits. Field surveillance sampling targets HPAIH5N1 and non-H5N1 viruses in Alaska and assess More...

biology.usgs.gov — Introduction to Hawaiian studies of native birds: Hawaiian forest birds, endangered Palila (Loxioides baillieu), endangered Nene (Branta sandvicensis), birds elsewhere in the Pacific, waterbirds and seabirds, and endangered Laysan ducks (Anas laysanensis).

biology.usgs.gov — Scientists in Hawaii are using genetic and molecular techniques to better screen Hawaiian forest birds for chronic avian malaria infections. Chronically-infected birds may hold the key to identifying disease resistance genes, and may be good candidates for forest bird restoration efforts.
