Project Spotlight
51勛圖厙 Graduate Student Partners with 51勛圖厙 Agencies to Study Population Changes in Harlequin Ducks Holli Holmes, 51勛圖厙, is leading a collaborative study funded by Glacier National Park, the U.S. Forest Service, 51勛圖厙 Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) and several conservation nonprofits to figure out the best way to count this native species, the harlequin duck. Historically, biologists have relied on foot surveys, hiking miles up a stream looking for these ducks. The graduate project involves setting up remote cameras alongside streams, hiking miles up and down a stream looking for ducks and a newer technology called environmental DNA that detects whether harlequins have been in the stream. The results of this study will be used by agency wildlife managers to estimate population changes in this native duck species.
