Description
THE LARGE HOME RANGE SIZE AND DIVERSE HABITAT REQUIREMENTS OF THE GOLDEN EAGLE (AQUILA CHRYSAETOS, GOEA) MAKE IT PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO HUMAN DISTURBANCE, DEMOGRAPHIC DECLINE, AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF GENOMIC VARIATION. AS A RESULT, GOEA ARE A SPECIES OF GREATEST CONSERVATION NEED (SGCN) IN THE STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN (SWAP). PROPER MANAGEMENT REQUIRES DATA REGARDING INDIVIDUAL MOVEMENT, BREEDING POPULATION SIZE, AND GENOMIC HEALTH. TO ADDRESS THIS DATA GAP, THE CDFW WILDLIFE GENETICS RESEARCH UNIT HAS PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES AND THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ON A STATE FUNDED CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION GENOMICS PROJECT (CCGP) GRANT TO EXAMINE THE LANDSCAPE GENOMICS OF GOEA. THE STATE FUNDED CCGP GRANT WAS AWARDED TO SEQUENCE THE GENOMES OF 150 INDIVIDUALS WITH PAIRED RADIO TELEMETRY OR NEST SITE DATA (FIG. 1). APPLYING INTEGRATED TELEMETRY AND LANDSCAPE GENOMIC DATA TO THE CONSERVATION OF GOEA WILL SERVE AS AN UNPRECEDENTED MODEL FOR GENOMICS-INFORMED MANAGEMENT OF OTHER BIRD SPECIES. FUNDS FROM THIS STATE WILDLIFE GRANT (SWG) WILL SUPPORT A CDFW RESEARCH SCIENTIST I FOR 12 MONTHS TO ANALYZE THE COMPLEX DATA AND PUBLISH RESULTS. THIS WORK WILL BE CONDUCTED AT THE CDFW GENETICS RESEARCH LAB IN SACRAMENTO AND OVERSEEN BY DR. MICHAEL BUCHALSKI (RESEARCH SCIENTIST III). THIS SWG WILL RESULT IN 1) COMPLETION OF AN INTEGRATED LANDSCAPE GENOMICS STUDY OF GOEA IN CALIFORNIA, AND 2) CREATION OF A PUBLIC DATABASE OF GENOME SEQUENCES TO FACILITATE FUTURE RESEARCH.
