STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 § 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The project will use methods developed previously by the Principal Investigator to track the habitat partitioning among forest carnivores in Denali. Winter surveys of carnivore tracks in snow encountered along established routes will be conducted, and fecal DNA-based estimates of coyote and fox abundance will be obtained from scats collected along track survey routes. Estimates of prey abundance will be obtained by ongoing surveys of hare pellets and vole abundance on established plots. Coyote movement patterns and survival rates will be examined by radio-collaring and monitoring collared coyotes. The University of Alaska Fairbanks and NPS staff at Denali will collaborate on all phases of planning and execution of this project. An NPS biologist will serve on the UAF graduate student's advisory committee, and will play a key role in developing specific objectives and methods, planning field work, and analysis and interpretation of results.
