Ever wonder how bears select their winter dens? Our researchers teamed up with the Nevada Department of Wildlife to find out.

Reanalysis led by NRES faculty Kevin Shoemaker finds flaws in research underpinning the recent listing decision for Gopher Tortoises.

[Kevin Shoemaker @kevint_kevin]

Our recently published letter shows that a major 2022 decision by USFWS - that the Gopher Tortoise is "not warranted" for listing across most of its range- was at least partially based on a flawed population model:

NRES Assistant Prof. @jrblasz's research was featured in a recent story in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the rise of harmful algal blooms in rivers across the US. Story here: https://t.co/3Z4nnsAUaf

[Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science @HitchScienceUNR]

Scott Allen, PhD, of @NRESnevada speaks with Hitchcock Project about his research in ecohydrology. If you aren't learning about how water impacts the ecosystems around you – water you doing? 🌊

@jrblasz and I are recruiting a postdoc in quantitative ecology to model the population and community dynamics of benthic algal communities. Come join us in the beautiful eastern Sierra and Great Basin! Please share! More details here: https://t.co/b3N158Dnha

[Natural Resources & Environmental Science @NRESnevada]

Join us once again for Science in the Wild! This event, organized by NRES graduate students, highlights student research in environmental science and conservation biology in Nevada and beyond! This semesters event will be held at Lead Dog Brewing. List of talks below.
