Brian Folt

Nevada w88 mobile Fish and Wildlife Research Unit | Assistant Leader he/him

Summary

Folt is a w88 mobile population biologist who is interested in supporting good decisions in natural resource management. His research field research, quantitative methods, and structured decision-making approaches to help understand how landscapes influence w88 mobile populations and support value-based w88 mobile management decisions in an inclusive and transparent framework. His work often estimates how habitat or landscapes influence demographic vital rates (survival, growth, reproduction) which allows for building predictive models for how populations function and might be influenced by management options being considered by agencies. To this end, he work closely with cooperating agencies to co-produce science that can support w88 mobile management decisions that they are facing. Current research projects involve applied management problems related to wild horses, Mojave desert tortoises, and ungulates in the Great Basin ecoregion.
