Description

NOTICE OF INTENT - TO ISSUE A SINGLE SOURCE AWARD FOR GENETIC VARIATION IN MOUNTAIN QUAIL TO IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY. Research study, analysis and reports that will analyze 100 ? 200 samples to quantify Mountain Quail genetic similarities and differences from across most of the historic species range. The University will analyze range-wide genetic variation in mountain quail using microsatellite loci screened from the galliform genetic literature. Screening will involve approximately 40 loci and applying approximately 10 variable loci in the analysis. Following preparatory work, samples will be processed through the Idaho State University CORE facility to generate microsatellite data comparing presumed pictus (Sierra), palmeri (Oregon), remophilus (Mojave), and western Idaho populations to one another. All information will be provided to the Service by September 30, 2005.
