Despite extensive knowledge and data surrounding the status and threats to Yellowstone cutthroat trout there is currently no comprehensive framework for prioritizing conservation of populations and metapopulations (i.e., locations) and potential actions that could be taken in these locations to secure and expand populations, particularly in anticipation of climate change. Through our existing collaboration with state and federal management partners from Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Montana, we propose to integrate existing information on Yellowstone cutthroat trout status and limiting factors in a spatially-explicit conservation priority framework adapted from a financial portfolio concept aimed at maximizing...

As part of an ongoing collaborative conservation strategy funded by the GNLCC, we have worked with the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Work Group to develop a comprehensive framework for prioritizing conservation of populations of Yellowstone cutthroat trout (YCT). Through this effort, managers have specifically identified potential actions that could be taken to secure and expand populations, particularly in anticipation of climate change. Currently, there remains a paucity of empirical analyses supporting the effectiveness and/or needs of conservation actions, particularly regarding the relative threats to existing extant YCT populations. Here we look to use existing long-term datasets from two distinct regions within...
