No matter your brand or mission, chances are you will find your audience at The Wildlife Society’s Annual Conference. They regularly have attendees from all 50 U.S. states, several Canadian provinces, sovereign tribes, and beyond. Their attendees are researchers, executives, technicians, professors, land managers, decision-makers, policy analysts, statisticians, students, and more.
Don’t miss the opportunity to attend the 84th Annual Meeting of Texas Soil and Water Conservation District Directors - a beneficial conservation meeting in Texas. You'll enjoy great speakers, breakout sessions, and the advantage of networking with other local Conservation District Directors, SWCD employees, NRCS personnel, and state staff. Additionally, an extensive tradeshow will feature numerous agencies, including East Foundation.
Researchers studied semen quality in wild ocelots and bobcats in southern Texas to assess genetic health and reproductive potential. They compared two semen collection methods: urethral catheterization (UC) and electroejaculation (EEJ). While UC was effective for both species, EEJ produced higher-quality samples in ocelots. The study revealed potentially reduced semen quality in wild ocelots compared to zoo-managed populations, possibly due to decreased genetic diversity.
This study established hematological and biochemical reference intervals for free-ranging pronghorns in Texas, aiming to create a health monitoring tool for restoration efforts. The research analyzed blood samples from 417 pronghorns, finding that while factors like sex, age, and pathogen exposure affected blood values, they didn't necessitate separate reference intervals. It also revealed high rates of viral infections among the sampled population.
This is a listing of East Foundation’s 2023 Presentations and Publications. Our goal is to understand and improve the productivity of native rangelands for both wildlife conservation and livestock production. Working with our partners, we conduct research on our lands to generate science-based solutions that help ranchers conserve wildlife habitats while sustaining livestock production. These presentations and publications are just some of the ways we showcase our work to achieve these goals.
