The objective of this Statement of Need was to advance scientific understanding of Department of Defense (DoD) relevant threatened, endangered, and at risk species and their population response to exposure from multiple stressors. Of particular interest was interdisciplinary research (i.e., terrestrial ecology, non-linear systems, toxicology/epidemiology, stress physiology, population biology, or others) to explore solutions to the problem of predicting the effects of multiple stressor interactions with population, including the relevant theory, data, and measurement systems required for understanding the cumulative effects of exposure to multiple stressors. Terrestrial species of relevance to DoD include, but are not limited to, the Golden-cheeked warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia), Streaked Horned lark (Eremophila alpestris strigata), and Least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus). All proposers were asked to provide the rationale for species selected for examination in their proposals.
