Genetic Structure and Hybridization of the Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates Pipiens) along the Mora watershed in northern New Mexico

This study focuses on evaluating the status and impact of collaborative conversation groups in the US

The invasion of the American Bullfrog leads to the loss of native biodiversity and can eventually drive some species into extinction. The American Bullfrog were established in the RMNWR in Northern New Mexico during the last century.

An exploration of the hypothesis that because river otters have been successfully reintroduced in other New Mexican rivers, the Mora River will also likely be a suitable ecosystem for their reintroduction.

River otters have been successfully reintroduced to other NM rivers. If the Mora River is similar to these systems, then the biomass & production rate of fish and crayfish will sustain the min. river otter dietary requirements.

How does woody shrub encroachment influence plant diversity, vegetation cover and community service?

This service learning partnership with RMNWR provides information about native plant species germination percentages and conditions that plants encounter. Rio Mora can use this information begin their restoration with a seed mix that is successful and resilient in the local habitat.

With an open landscape and semiarid climate, short grass prairies support unique biodiversity, including bison, songbirds and a variety of grass species.
