Information from the monitoring program is being used to develop decision tools to inform future management of these streams, factoring in the potential climate change effects of increasing stream temperature and altered hydrological regimes. We describe the utility of characterizing the specific environmental conditions of individual populations and how these tools can be easily incorporated into monitoring programs of other native southwestern salmonids to better inform managers of the effects of climate change.

Population data gathered during aerial surveys are central to the conservation and management of big game species. Abundance estimates and composition ratios are heavily relied on by state agencies in the development of management objectives, and inform decision-making around threatened or endangered species listing, harvest levels, translocations to reduce or augment populations, and the implementation or degree of predator control. We are currently developing a more robust method for estimation of desert bighorn populations using a hybrid double observer-sightability model.

Effective species management rests on a foundation of reliable monitoring of populations, yet monitoring puma (Puma concolor) populations remains logistically complex, expensive, time consuming, and invasive. Our study has two objectives: 1) to determine the efficacy of a novel, cost-effective, and minimally invasive genetic sampling method – a modified Belisle foothold trap, for obtaining hair to generate mark-recapture population estimates, and 2) to test habitat suitability and population density parameters in the model currently used by New Mexico State Department of Game & Fish for puma management.

|
2018-02-09
|
Fawn survival often limits population growth and persistence for native and translocated pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) populations. During May and early June (2016 and 2017), we captured 101 pronghorn fawns aged ≤ 5 days, and marked them with ear tag radio transmitters to monitor survival. Naïve estimates of summer fawn survival for 2016 and 2017 were 23% (13/56 survived) and 20% (9/45) respectively. Fawn survival is likely most strongly influenced by predation pressures in the area, but further analyses will inform potential management strategies to improve fawn cover and habitat structure for long-term persistence.

Several studies report on puma diets in the arid regions of the southwestern United States within homogenously xeric locations, overlooking landscape diversity generated by riparian forests. Such habitat heterogeneity and corresponding prey diversity could influence puma habitat use, prey availability and diet composition. We examined puma diet in New Mexico, at sites representing riparian areas adjacent to the Rio Grande and xeric Chihuahuan Desert uplands.

The ecological effects of constructing man-made water sources in desert environments in largely unknown, in spite of the fact that it is a widespread practice by wildlife management agencies across the west. There are 3 concerns with the construction of water sources in arid systems: 1) water may influence the distribution of ungulates and increase predation risk; 2) water sources may be used as a predation trap by predators who stay near water sources to increase their chances of killing a visiting ungulate; and 3) water requirements have not been determined for most ungulates and carnivores in the western US.

|

|
To better understand the relationship between desert ungulates and water availability, we examined desert bighorn sheep diet in response to removal of supplemental water sources. Without surface water, ungulates may be forced to rely solely on forage to gain a positive water balance, and thus, they must make resourceful foraging decisions to survive. We found that desert bighorn sheep were not able to maintain a water and nutrient balance in some seasons under drought conditions without drinking; however, they could potentially meet their daily requirements by shifting their diet from lower to higher moisture or nutrient forage species.

We adopted an information-theoretic approach in a Bayesian framework to analyze long-term data from 17 pronghorn populations in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, to determine climatic factors that predict annual rate of population change. Our models predict that about half of the pronghorn populations in the Southwest will be extirpated or approaching extirpation by the end of the century. Findings will contribute to the development of conservation and management plans for pronghorn populations across the Southwest.

Despite advances in methods to monitor cryptic species through non-invasive sampling, furbearer population dynamics are often under studied due to logistic restraints and competing priorities of management agencies. We assessed data collected through incidental ‘captures’ of furbearer species that occurred while conducting non-invasive scat collection and remote camera surveys of mountain lion (Puma concolor) populations in New Mexico to determine the feasibility of incorporating such data into a furbearer monitoring program.

We used mark-recapture data from four sympatric and four allopatric Rio Grande cutthroat trout and Brown trout populations in northern New Mexico to test the effects of brown trout presence, mean daily temperature, and total trout biomass (g) on mass specific growth rates of small (<120mm, n= 129) and large (>120mm, n=233) RGCT. We learned that 1) temperature do not play a role in changes of biomass of cutthroat trout, 2) presence of brown trout negatively affected growth of small and large cutthroat trout, and 3) small cutthroat trout grew faster in the presence of brown trout than larger cutthroat trout.

Allopatric (separate) populations of Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout exhibited higher abundance, biomass, and production than sympatric (two species co-exist) populations of Cutthroat Trout and Brown trout. We were not not able to demonstrate clear evidence of the role that temperature plays in Cutthroat Trout production, especially in streams where both species co-exist.

Jane presented preliminary results of her M.S. thesis research on the effects of temperature and Brown Trout presence on RGCT production and prey selection. Results suggest that Brown Trout presence is deleterious to RGCT in populations where they are sympatric. It appears unlikely that RGCT will persist with Brown Trout over time because of direct and indirect competition.

There is a lack of knowledge related to location and characteristics of migration routes and stopovers, and cross-species comparison of dietary constraints and life history characteristics, and how they are related to migration characteristics in southwestern landscapes. Our specific objectives are to identify and map migration routes, stopovers, and seasonal ranges for migratory elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in northcentral New Mexico. In addition, we will evaluate the use of multi-scale (i.e., satellite and handheld sensors) NDVI data and forage conditions along migration routes.

Scat analysis studies have revealed that elk comprised greater than 70% of the Mexican wolf diet, but the population-level impact of wolf recovery on elk is unknown. Further, the Mexican wolf population has more than doubled from an estimated 42 individuals in 2009 to a minimum of 131 individuals in 2019. Given the recent increase in Mexican wolf population and the expectation of future growth in both size and distribution under the current recovery plan, it is important to understand if Mexican wolf predation is an additive, compensatory, or partially compensatory source of mortality for elk.

The combined effects of long-term fire suppression, logging, and overgrazing have negatively impacted the condition of many southwestern forests, resulting in decreased habitat quality for wildlife and more frequent and severe wildfires. Degraded forest conditions have resulted in calls for restoration of the historic forest structure and fire regimes. Our research objectives included investigating local and landscape scale habitat selection of black bears (Ursus americanus) in the Jemez Mountains of north central New Mexico to assess the effects of landscape scale restoration and wildfires. We specifically aimed to 1) address changes in abundance of key forage species for black bears in response to forest restoration treatments and recent wildfires, 2) determine landscape-level habitat selection and space use patterns of black bears in relation to currently completed forest restoration treatments and wildfires occurring over the past 20 years, and 3) assess habitat characteristics at bed and den sites of black bears to determine whether wildfire and restoration treatments influenced selection on a microscale.

The objective of this study is to assess mountain lion resource use and behavioral patterns in the presence of a large-scale forest restoration effort. More specifically, we will 1) determine kill rates and prey composition for lions, 2) use mountain lion GPS data to develop a predation risk map based on lion habitat use patterns, then use kill site data to validate the predation risk model and, 3) determine rates of kleptoparasitism by black bears on mountain lion kills.

Determining the effects of kleptoparasitism is important in understanding resource use between both dominate (black bears) and subordinate (lions) competitors. Despite the recent interest in kleptoparasitism, few studies exist on the impacts it has on mountain lion behavior. Our objectives were to 1) determine kill rates and prey composition across all study lions and 2) determine rates of kleptoparasitism by black bears on mountain lion kills. Rates of kleptoparasitism will be compared between areas of low (Fra Christobal), moderate (Gallina), and high (Jemez) bear density using data collected from the Jemez, Gallina, and Fra Cristobal mountains.
