Wildlife Activities
Research and MonitoringMonitoring and Research activities will ensure that the conservation measures are being met, that the program receives habitat credit, and that the program can move forward with adaptive management, making habitat better and better for these species. Types of monitoring and research include: species research, system monitoring, and post-development monitoring.
Species Research: The species research addresses information gaps in the knowledge of the life history and habitat requirements of covered and evaluation species that is necessary for directing the successful establishment and management of created habitats.

- Elf Owl Detectability Study
- California Leaf-Nosed Bat Population Demographics and Habitat Use
- Bat Roosting Characteristics Study
- Small Mammal Population Studies
- Effects of Abiotic Factors on Insect Populations in Riparian Restoration Sites
- Insect Population Biology in Riparian Restoration Sites
- Survey and Habitat Characterization for MacNeill's Sootywing
- Relict Leopard Frog

- Flat-Tailed Horned Lizard
System Monitoring: The system monitoring determines the ongoing status of covered species and their habitats in the LCR MSCP planning area.

- Vermilion Flycatcher Detectability and Distribution Study
- Gilded Flicker Habitat Use, Local Movement, and Natural History Study
- System Monitoring of Rodent Populations

Post-Development Monitoring: The post-development monitoring determines the progress of habitat creation and management towards achieving the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) biological goals and to collect information necessary to assess the efficacy of habitat creation designs and habitat management prescriptions.
