11. Numbers Justification
Explain why a smaller number would not allow you to meet your objectives:: 
a smaller number would not allow you to meet your objectives
12. Source of Animals
Source of the animals (or tissues): 
study area(s) for field studies. For transportation, storage, and use of tissues from carcasses, explain the circumstances of death.
14. Procedures Likely to Affect Animal Behavior and Welfare
List the specific procedures likely to affect the behavior, physiology or wellbeing of live animals.: 
study area(s) for field studies. For transportation, storage, and use of tissues from carcasses, explain the circumstances of death.
15. Level of expected pain or distress
The methods described are purely observational and non-evasive <ins>OR</ins> will involve only the tissues or carcasses of dead animals; behavior of live animals will not be influenced intentionally.: 
Yes
The methods will affect behavior, but no animals will be captured or handled (e.g. baiting animals, cameras in close proximity to animals, production of noises within normal limits of volume or frequency).: 
Yes
The methods involve capture or handling without anesthesia, but only for a brief period for measurement or observation. No samples will be collected.: 
Yes
The methods involve capture or handling without anesthesia, and routine samples (hair, blood, etc.) will be collected or euthanasia will be performed; this may involve use of routine pharmaceuticals to promote health (e.g. antibiotics, vitamins, fluids). This work may also involve temporary marking, placement of permanent tags, or fitting with telemetry transmitters or GPS receivers.: 
Yes
The methods require use of anesthesia to mitigate distress or facilitate handling, and routine samples (hair, blood, etc.) will be collected or euthanasia will be performed, A above, this work may involve temporary marking, placement of permanent tags, or fitting with telemetry transmitters or GPS receivers.: 
Yes
The methods require use of anesthesia to mitigate pain or distress, and procedures will be invasive enough to require pain killing drugs (analgesics) upon revival. Sampling or marking may be performed as above.: 
Yes
The methods will cause pain or considerable distress, but analgesics will not be used to mitigate the pain (e.g. surgeries from which animals are revived without provision of analgesics).: 
Yes
The methods will be invasive and cause prolonged physiological or psychological stress without antiquate mitigation of pain or distress.This may allow animals to progress to death without provisions of euthanasia or analgesics (e.g. LD50 experiments or long term food or water deprivation).: 
Yes

18. Alternate Procedures Considered and Rejected
Explanation of alternative procedures rejected: 
study area(s) for field studies. For transportation, storage, and use of tissues from carcasses, explain the circumstances of death.
19. Human Health Risks
Describe the fate of animals upon completion of the protocol: 
study area(s) for field studies. For transportation, storage, and use of tissues from carcasses, explain the circumstances of death.
21. Certification
I have read and agree to abide by the "<ins>Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals Used in Testing, Research, and Training at HSU,</ins>" and that I will make copies of these principles and other pertinent guidelines available to those persons who work under my supervision, and that deviations from this protocol, including any unanticipated injuries or death of animals, will be reported immediately to the IACUC. <a href='https://iacuc.humboldt.edu/iacuc-policy' target='_blank''>https://iacuc.humboldt.edu/iacuc-policy/</a>: 
Yes
My level of supervision will be such that the procedures outlined in this protocol will be carried out in a humane and a scientifically acceptable manner as described herein.: 
Yes
I take responsibility for the conduct of anyone working under this approved protocol, and I will supervise the research to ensure that no work is conducted that is not covered herein or in a separate approved protocol.: 
Yes
I will ensure that no work described in this protocol will begin until the protocol has been fully approved by the IACUC, and that I will adhere to all deadlines and procedure outlined in the HSU ANIMAL WELFARE ASSURANCE in accordance with the PHS Policy for Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.: 
Yes
I am aware that my research might require permits from federal and/or state agencies that regulate the harassment, capture, transport, captive maintenance, handling and manipulation of live vertebrate animals.: 
Yes
My study does not unnecessarily duplicate previous studies using live vertebrate animals, as determined through literature database searches.: 
Yes
I have considered the use of less invasive procedures, use of fewer numbers of animals and have determined that the methods proposed in this protocol are justified for the research and/or instructional objectives described herein.:
