Integrated Monitoring Plan Development for Native and Non-Native Fishes at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada	December 2026	Monitoring for population status and trends is a critical component to successful conservation and management of freshwater fishes. However, integrated status and trend monitoring efforts for native and invasive fishes that combine traditional active and passive capture methods with single- and multiple-species eDNA assays have yet to be developed for desert ecosystems. A modern, formalized sampling design, analysis, and reporting framework is needed to institutionalize science-based management and advance our understanding of native and nonnative fishes at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR), Nevada. The project is a collaboration of researchers across multiple agencies and includes the U.S. Geological Survey, University of Nevada, Reno, Washington State University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Desert Refuge Complex, and the Nevada Department of Wildlife. We will develop a peer reviewed integrated status and trend monitoring plan for native and non-native aquatic taxa at AMNWR that incorporates eDNA assays, traditional fish sampling, and structured decision making.

Landscape Watershed Condition and Drought Vulnerability Assessment in the Western U.S.	May 2029	Climate warming and persistent drought have drawn increasing attention to declining availability of water across western landscapes. However, a knowledge gap in our understanding of ecological drought effects in dryland ecoregions is how watershed conditions (e.g., instream habitat conditions, riparian and upland<br>vegetation health) and hydrology (e.g., stream flows, water temperatures and quality) interact to<br>affect the flow of energy from aquatic to terrestrial habitats and vice versa. Our assessment framework will include a fully integrated, social-ecological assessment of drought vulnerability within watersheds in the Great Basin and Western U.S. Such an assessment is designed with the specific intent of informing drought adaptation actions in the face of increasing concerns over drought and climate change.

Mapping Ungulate Migrations in Nevada	August 2026	Large-scale land-use changes threaten to fragment habitats and disrupt seasonal migration corridors of large ungulates that are important to population growth and persistence. By identifying important habitats and migration corridors for ungulate populations in Nevada, land-use planning might accommodate requirements for ungulates in addition to other multiple uses on landscapes. To this end, we are participating in a large-scale research project that aims to identify important habitats and migration corridors for ungulate populations across Nevada. We are collaborating with Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) to analyze existing GPS-collar data describing seasonal movement patterns of Mule Deer, Pronghorn, and Elk and provide maps estimating seasonal ranges and migration corridors for different populations across the state. Land-use planning decisions across Nevada could benefit from the resulting spatial information describing key habitats and migration corridors for ungulates in the state, potentially to be used as exclusion criteria. Additionally, we are developing a decision-support product to help the state prioritize where to conduct future projects on ungulate migration and survival in the state.	None
Habitat Suitability for Big Spring Spinedace (Lepidomeda mollispinis pratensis) in Meadow Valley Wash, Nevada	May 2025	The Big Spring Spinedace (Lepidomeda mollispinis pratensis) is a Federally threatened cyprind fish with a distribution limited to a single 5-km stream reach in Meadow Valley Wash, Lincoln County, NV. Little is known about the life history, habitat requirements, or demographics of this species. In 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service set goals and objectives for recovery of BSS that included selection and establishment of refuge populations due to the vulnerability of the existing population to catastrophic events, human-induced habitat modification, and nonnative species introduction, and indicated that information collected on life history and habitat requirements should be utilized to evaluate potential refugia sites.This project is a collaboration among the U.S. Geological Survey, Nevada Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Nevada Department of Wildlife. We will establish criteria to evaluate Big Spring Spinedace habitat suitability via a literature review and pre-assessment analysis, conduct flow permanence surveys, monitor water levels and temperatures, and survey occupied and potential re-introduction sites for habitat suitability. We expect to recommend a prioritized list of sites that could be used as refuge population(s) for Big Spring Spinedace in and around Meadow Valley Wash, Nevada.	None

Strohm, D.D., Falke, J.A., and Sergeant, C. 2024. Hydrologic regime characterization for wildfire-impacted streams in changing boreal ecosystems. Western Division of the American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting, Honolulu, Hawai’i, 15 – 19, September 2024.	September 2024	We used field observations and a hydrologic model to quantify hydrologic regimes in six burned and unburned headwater streams in interior Alaska, and across the Yukon and Kuskokwim basins and the Northwestern Boreal Ecosystem (BYK) in Alaska and Yukon Territory, Canada, respectively. Our hydrologic regime characterization establishes a baseline for boreal streams to aid in identifying stream classes more susceptible to wildfire and facilitate conservation of important boreal aquatic species.
Stoner, D.C, B. Folt, K.A. Schoenecker. 2024. Can mountain lion predation suppress population growth of feral horses in the American West? International Wild Equids Conference, Nanyuki, Kenya, 8–11 April 2025.	April 2025	Management agencies need cost-effective alternatives to manage wild horses populations in the US. We evaluated whether mountain lions could regulate horse populations using simulations and empirical field data. Simulations suggested that 60-80% of foal and yearlings would need to be eaten by lions annually, but field data suggested lion predation was far below that benchmark. Lions may reduce horse population growth by predation, but are unlikely to reduce or stabilize horse population size.

New methods to estimate Mojave desert tortoise population response to multiple stressors across its range. Desert Tortoise Council Annual Symposium, Las Vegas, Nevada, 25–28 February 2025.	February 2025	Population declines of the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (MDT) persist despite federal listing. Using a Bayesian model, we integrated diverse demographic data to estimate survival and identify key drivers of declines. We found precipitation positively affects survival and data integration increased statistical power. Ongoing work models predation pressure, tests stressor effects on survival, and estimates range-wide occupancy trends with dynamic occupancy models.
Shaftel, R., Feddern, M., Shoen, E., Cunningham, C. von Biela, V., McAfee, S., and J. Falke. 2024. Modeled streamflow and stream temperature inform conditions affecting Chinook Salmon in Alaska. American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting, Honolulu, Hawai’i, 15 – 19, September 2024.	September 2024	Advances in gridded climate datasets and downscaled climate projections may provide useful tools for quantifying freshwater habitat conditions and predicting effects of climate change on fish populations. We compared several datasets with coverage that ranged from regional to global and found that streamflow and stream temperature model performance varied considerably, but the highest performing models allowed estimation of ecologically relevant conditions affecting Chinook salmon.
Schoen, E., Feddern, M., Shaftel, R., Harings, M., Reece, K., Kamermans, B., Cunningham, C., Falke, J., and A. López. 2024. Climatic, ecological, and human-driven effects on Yukon-Kuskokwim salmon fisheries. American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting, Honolulu, Hawai’i, 15 – 19, September 2024.	September 2024	Salmon populations in Alaska and Canada have declined to historic lows causing unprecedented fisheries closures, management challenges, and profound impacts on subsistence communities. We outline three research efforts that support fisheries managers and communities: environmental drivers of salmon productivity, eDNA as a method to supplement salmon counts, and simulated effects of climate change and wildfire on stream temperature and juvenile salmon growth potential.
Schoen, E., Falke, J., Paul, J., Meyer, B., Neuswanger, J., Strohm, D., McKenna, B., Lynne, D., and Savereide, J. 2023. How Do Wildfires Affect Alaskan Chinook Salmon? Evidence from Rivers and Satellites. American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting, Grand Rapids, MI, August 20-24, 2023.	August 2023	Wildfires are becoming more frequent in Alaska's boreal ecosystems, but their effects on rivers and salmon are not well understood. One year after wildfires bisected an important Chinook salmon habitat, we found fire-affected sites were slightly warmer and more turbid than upstream reference sites, but food resources and juvenile salmon growth were similar. Satellite measurements across a broader study area showed historic wildfires warmed the land surface for > 15 years, resulting in complex e

The role of beavers in mediating wildfire effects on freshwater fish habitat in boreal Alaska. American Fisheries Society 153^nd Annual Meeting, Grand Rapids, MI. August 20–24.	August 2023	Little is known about how wildfire affects fish habitat and populations in boreal streams despite the substantial impacts of fire on ecosystem processes, and how fire effects may be mediated by species interactions. This study will help to provide a better understanding of the role of beavers in maintaining diverse and productive aquatic habitats in riverscapes under changing wildfire conditions.
Rich, B., Westley, P., Sepulveda, A., Rinella, D., Falke, J., and E. Schoen. 2023. Introduced northern pike predation and consumption of juvenile salmon in a warming world. Matanuska-Susitna Salmon Habitat Partnership Symposium. 13-14 November, 2023. Palmer, AK.	November 2023	Global climate change may be exacerbating the impacts of invasive species such as Northern Pike in warming Alaska waters. We found that the direction and rate of predation by pike on juvenile salmon varied by species and with stream flow and temperature, and that pike may switch to alternative prey once salmon are extirpated. Thus, changing freshwater processes may directly affect predation rates of pike on salmon, but not total consumption.

Juvenile Coho Salmon growth patterns track biennial Pink Salmon spawning abundance fluctuations in a southeast Alaska watershed. National Meeting of the American Fisheries Society. 20-24 August, 2023,Grand Rapids, MI, USA.	August 2023	It is not well known whether adult salmon spawning abundance fluctuations confer disparate foraging and growth opportunities to stream-dwelling fish between years. We explored this hypothesis using a bioenergetic simulation paired with empirical field observations in a southeast Alaskan watershed that supports spawning salmon.

Harings, M.A.B., E. Schoen, B. Kamermans, K. Reece, J. Falke, A. Matter, B. McKenna, N. Farnham, Nicole, S. T. Walter, J.A. López. (2024, September 15-19). Evaluating environmental DNA as a complementary technique for assessing Yukon River salmon. American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting, Honolulu, Hawaii, United States.	September 2024	Because high streamflow events can render salmon counting equipment inoperable, leading to missed salmon counts throughout the run, we tested a new method to estimate salmon abundance using daily DNA concentrations in river water for two species in the Yukon River basin, Alaska. The long-term vision of this project is to build capacity to support more robust monitoring of fish populations and enhance climate change resilience in salmon assessment throughout Alaska.
Folt, B., M.L. Crabb, K.A. Schoenecker. 2025. Management and population density influence wild horse population growth in the western United States. Nevada Chapter of The Wildlife Society – 2025 Science Symposium, Las Vegas, Nevada, 8–9 January 2025.	January 2025	We measured wild horse population growth in the western US at 35 populations over 8 years. Population growth varied and was reduced by fertility control treatment and population density. Our results provide decision makers with information on population growth rates for local-scale planning and national-scale policy makers with estimates of how an often-debated management practice, fertility control treatment, has reduced horse population growth across the western US.

National Meeting of the American Fisheries Society. August 20 -24, 2023, Grand Rapids, MI, USA.	August 2023	Consumers capacity to exploit pulse subsidy resources may be influenced by antecedent environmental conditions such as stream flow. For juveniles of two salmonid species, we observed that consumption optima coincided with baseflow and high flow conditions, minima were observed during severe low-water and intermediate flow values, and interannual hydrologic variation shifted growth trajectories among years, potentially impacting access to pulse subsidies.
