For the last 20 years, Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi in Argentina has been the site of a comparative study of ecology and genetics of two species of tuco-tuco, a type of burrowing rodent. The June 2011 ongoing eruption of the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic chain in southern Chile has created a time-sensitive opportunity to assess the impacts of a major geological event on patterns and processes of genetic diversification in natural populations of vertebrates. With extensive pre-eruption data, the proposed post-eruption monitoring will capitalize upon an unprecedented opportunity to explore the effects of a catastrophic environmental event on the population genetics of free-living organisms. Therefore, this study should lead to important new insights into the impacts, including long-term impacts, of volcanic activity, or other catastrophic events, on genetic diversity.The proposed research supports student training, conservation, and local outreach and education efforts. It will involve undergraduate volunteers from Berkeley, Stanford, and the Universidad Nacional del Comahue in Bariloche, Argentina, thereby providing significant student training. With regard to public outreach, the PIs will maintain web and blog sites on the project, providing quick public access to research methods and results. For the past 20 years, the PIs have worked closely with Administracion de Parques Nacionales Argentinas and other conservation organizations in Patagonia to develop sound, data-based strategies for protecting one of the species of tuco-tuco, including development of the current monitoring and management program. Data generated by the proposed research will contribute to these ongoing efforts.

在过去的20年中，阿根廷的Parque nacional Nahuel Huapi一直是对两种Tuco-tuco的生态学和遗传学的比较研究，一种Tuco-tuco，一种是挖洞的啮齿动物。 2011年6月，智利南部的Puyehue-Cordon Caulle火山连锁店正在进行的爆发，为评估主要地质事件对脊椎动物自然种群遗传多样化的模式和过程的影响创造了一个时间敏感的机会。 借助大量的喷发前数据，拟议的爆发后监测将利用前所未有的机会，探索灾难性环境事件对自由生活生物体种群遗传学的影响。 因此，这项研究应导致对遗传多样性的火山活动或其他灾难性事件的影响，包括长期影响，包括长期影响的重要新见解。拟议的研究支持学生培训，保护以及当地的外展和教育工作。 它将涉及来自伯克利，斯坦福大学的本科志愿者和阿根廷巴里洛奇的Nacional del Comahue大学，从而提供了重要的学生培训。关于公共宣传，PIS将在项目上维护网络和博客网站，从而快速公开访问研究方法和结果。在过去的20年中，PI与Paparques nacionales Argentinas和Patagonia的其他保护组织密切合作，以制定基于数据的基于数据的策略，以保护Tuco-Tuco的一种物种，包括开发当前的监测和管理计划。拟议的研究产生的数据将有助于这些持续的努力。
