Participating Agencies
- Region 2, US Fish and Wildlife Service
Developed modeling techniques to support a variety of listing decisions under the Endangered Species Act supporting the USFWS. We worked on Sonora Desert Tortoise, Gila Chub, White-Bark Pine, White-tailed Ptarmigan among others. We also developed curriculum for a short course on data analysis and modeling for USFWS biologists.
