Utah has doubled its coyote bounty in designated mule deer habitat, increasing payments to hunters as the state works to manage coyote predation and support mule deer populations.

Oxford ecologist Rob Salguero-Gómez explores how ecosystems withstand and recover from disturbance, from wildfires to drought. His research offers new ways to understand resilience in a changing world.

Researchers at Utah State University are using trail cameras and population research to study how recreation and a warming climate affect moose.

Keith Gido researches freshwater fish communities and how environmental changes reshape aquatic ecosystems. He says dams can make it more difficult for native fish to survive drought.

Two years after her death, the world-famous grizzly bear's legacy endures. At the same time, federal protections for the species are on their way out the door.

The iconic insects arrive in Utah every summer, but since the 1990s, their populations have declined by 80%. The Trump administration delayed a final decision on protecting them.
