Researchers will study the relationship between gut bacterial communities (microbiomes) and gastrointestinal health in maned wolves.

Researchers will investigate a novel treatment for brevetoxicosis (a condition caused by ingesting harmful toxins produced by algae blooms) in stranded sea turtles.

Researchers will test a probiotic treatment strategy (the use of beneficial, pathogen-inhibiting microbes) in wild boreal toads under threat from an emerging fungal disease.

Researchers will investigate how different rearing practices influence the health of the microbiome (a collection of microbes that live inside and outside the body) in whooping crane chicks.

Researchers will determine whether it would be safe to release a parasitic wasp in the Galapagos Islands to control a fly devastating young Darwin’s finches.

Researchers will develop a genetic test to identify the sex of critically endangered Chinese crocodile lizards, a species that lacks distinct and obvious differences in sexual appearance.

Researchers will determine whether an emerging and deadly salamander pathogen can be reliably detected in the DNA found in their housing environments to help improve disease monitoring in the live animal trade.
