biology.usgs.gov — Field studies in wildlife toxicology often rely on the analysis of contaminant levels in wildlife tissues. Although this provides information on an animal's exposure and the accumulated pollutant levels, it does not explicitly identify whether the contaminant has had toxic effects. Monitoring biochemical or molecular responses can provide More...

fresc.usgs.gov — The Conservation Genetics Lab carries out molecular analysis, pedigree analysis, modeling, data management, and cryogenic sample repository. As a part of this research, the lab investigates the effectiveness of molecular markers used to enhance enforcement of the Endangered Species Act policy. During the past 15 years, this research has involved More...

www.lsc.usgs.gov — The primary goal of this study is to clarify how riparian zone and land use affect T. tubifex population density, lineage and myxosporidian parasite density and/or the ability of resident worms to become infected with M. cerebralis spores and to release infective spores. Preliminary results suggest that a deciduous riparian zone reduces the More...

www.nrmsc.usgs.gov — Researchers at the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) and their collaborators at Penn State University are using viral genetics to estimate contact patterns of mule deer and elk across several states in the Rocky Mountain region. By linking their sampling efforts with chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveys in Montana, Wyoming, More...

www.nrmsc.usgs.gov — This is an overview of the Northern Divide Grizzly Bear Project, Monitoring Grizzly Bear Populations using DNA allows identification of species, sex, and individuals from DNA extracted from bear hair and scats without handling bears. The data will be used to design a non-intrusive population trend monitoring scheme. This resource includes More...

www.absc.usgs.gov — Genetics of Alaska Fishes Projects studies include comparing molecular genetics for rainbow trout throughout their range in Alaska and use microsatellite analyses to look at hatchery and wild populations of steelhead in the Snake River (Phylogeographic analysis of rainbow trout in Alaska). Research also looks at genetic population structure of More...
