Description
This project aims to monitor Southern Whiteface (SWF) populations to understand its genetic diversity, population size, and differentiation, and to clarify subspecies status using molecular genetics. It also investigates landscape-scale factors—such as vegetation and climate, including extremes—that influence SWF distribution. Additionally, it evaluates the health of populations by measuring parasite loads, nutritional condition, and body reserves.
