Opportunity Information: Apply for G19AS00103
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is providing a funding opportunity through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) aimed at studying the impact of altered diets on the gastrointestinal microbiome of the Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) and other wildlife. This project seeks to understand how changes in diet, particularly the consumption of invasive grass versus native forb plants, can affect the growth, health, and immune function of juvenile tortoises.
The USGS plans to conduct a pilot diet experiment where juvenile tortoises will be kept in outdoor predator-proof enclosures and monitored for changes in body mass, shell growth, health conditions, and survivorship over time. Fecal samples will be collected and analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technology to assess the microbiome composition.
The project aims to leverage existing health data and environmental factors to better understand the molecular and cellular responses of tortoises triggered by dietary changes and environmental disturbances. Additional health classifications and experiments may be incorporated as the research progresses.Apply for G19AS00103
