Jackson elk migrations near the National Elk Refuge-cropped
Jackson elk migrations near the National Elk Refuge-croppedJackson elk herd migrations around the National Elk Refuge are shown in dark blue (short-distant migrants) and light blue (long-distant migrants). Elk migrations cross federal, state, and public lands. The map was generated by the USGS using data from the USGS Data Release Kauffman and others, 2020.

eDNA Sampler in Grand Teton National Park
Autonomous environmental DNA (eDNA) sampler in protective housing on the shore of Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park. The USGS READI-Net project and eDNA samplers like this one can assist the park in detecting aquatic invasive species, like quagga mussels.

Deer and elk using natural mineral lick
In the same day, a female mule deer (left image), an elk (middle image), and finally a buck mule deer (right image) visited the same mineral lick in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The USGS is investigating how the aggregation of multiple individuals and species in mineral lick locations can influence wildlife disease transmission.

Wind turbines with one black blade
Wind turbines in Wyoming with one blade painted black. These turbines are part of a study in collaboration with PacifiCorp to assess if the contrasting colors of turbine blades can reduce bird fatalities at wind turbines.
