Resources available to conserve native trout are limited and must be targeted where conservation is most critical and likely to be successful. Using a grant from the GNLCC we collaborated with an Interagency Multi-State Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout (YCT) Conservation Work Group to prioritize conservation across the range of YCT. This prioritization will target national resources to critical conservation needs. We developed and applied a set of ecological and opportunity-based conservation criteria using the experience and knowledge of field managers. Ecological criteria were representation (genetic integrity and uniqueness), resilience (length or area of occupied habitat), and redundancy (number of populations or...
Through funding awarded through the GNLCC in 2013 we and our state and federal partners and collaborators from Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Montana have developed criteria and a framework for prioritizing populations of Yellowstone cutthroat trout; this spatially-explicit conservation priority framework was adapted from a financial portfolio concept aimed at maximizing species persistence in the face of adversity (Schindler et al., 2010; Haak & Williams, 2012). We have completed prioritization at multiple spatial scales within the historical range using both ecological and conservation opportunity criteria and will complete prioritization of extant conservation populations within the context of climate change...
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...
