pollinators.nbii.gov — The global declines in many kinds of pollinator species could potentially impact the global food supply, as many plants depend upon specific pollinators to reproduce. The Web site of the NBII Pollinators Project provides access to information about the biology, ecology, conservation status, and threats to native pollinators, pollinator-dependent More...

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...

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.
