Job 2 (Oct 1, 2014 – Sep 30, 2015): Identify and hire MS student (UM-Flint). MS student develops research prospectus on assessing disease transmission and risk. Conduct flights to locate feral swine for trapping and to assess herd sizes. Trap and radio-collar feral swine. Compile and analyze telemetry and accelerometer data. Begin implementation of swine control techniques. Job 3 (Oct 1, 2015 – Sep 30, 2016): Conduct flights to locate feral swine for trapping and to assess herd sizes. Continue to compile telemetry and accelerometer data. Field visits to rooting sites to assess ecological damage. Analyses of telemetry, accelerometer, and group size data. Continue implementing feral swine control techniques. Preliminary disease analyses. Job 4 (Oct 1, 2016 – Sep 30, 2017): Finish implementing and evaluating feral swine control techniques. Field visits to rooting sites to assess ecological damage. Complete analyses of feral swine activity and habitat use patterns, and develop resource selection function (i.e., predictive model). Complete analyses of feral swine dispersal and response to population control activities. Complete final disease analyses. MS student completes thesis. Present findings at national or regional professional meetings. Job 5 (Oct 1, 2017 – Sep 30, 2018): Complete analyses of ecological damage. Prepare final report.
