Wildfire patterns in the West are changing, but according to new research, the trend in the Great Basin hasn’t necessarily been a simple increase. Exploring differences between current wildfire patterns and those from the past can help researchers pinpoi...
In the April 17 online issue of the AAAS journal Science, Zachariah "Zach" Gompert and colleagues use multiple phased genome assemblies and population-level DNA sequencing data to show complex chromosomal rearrangements are key drivers of repeated adaptiv...

As a land-grant institution, Utah State University campuses and centers reside and operate on the territories of the eight tribes of Utah, who have been living, working, and residing on this land from time immemorial. These tribes are the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Indians, Navajo Nation, Ute Indian Tribe, Northwestern Band of Shoshone, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, San Juan Southern Paiute, Skull Valley Band of Goshute, and White Mesa Band of the Ute Mountain Ute. We acknowledge these lands carry the stories of these Nations and their struggles for survival and identity. We recognize Elders past and present as peoples who have cared for, and continue to care for, the land. In offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm Indigenous self-governance history, experiences, and resiliency of the Native people who are still here today.
