WWRC conducted movement and statistical analyses and helped develop a manuscript for the University of Wyoming to better understand how the spatiotemporal variation of resources can shape the migratory behavior of pronghorn and elk across the state of Wyoming. This research was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B in November 2025.
In collaboration with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, we sought to understand how age and spatial behavior influence the survival of male elk during the hunting season. Our findings revealed that male elk altered their behavior, including movement rate and habitat selection, during the hunting season to mitigate risk of harvest and that behavior varied among individuals, being largely influenced by age. This research was published in the Journal of Wildlife Management in October 2025.
The Jackson Hole Land Trust hired WWRC to create a series of interactive maps on their website to help direct users to detailed information regarding conservation easements in and around Jackson, Dubois, and the Upper Green River Valley.
Backcountry Hunters & Anglers hired WWRC to help write a letter outlining the importance of migration corridors and seasonal habitat for ungulates and the potential effects the proposed Jackson Mountain Landscape Project could have on mule deer and elk based on previous research and existing literature.
