Brittany Mosher is an Assistant Professor at the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources. Her work focuses on quantitative ecology, disease and population dynamics, and conservation decision-making. She collaborates with state, federal, and non-governmental organizations to bridge scientific research with practical conservation outcomes.
Education:
- Postdoctoral Researcher, Pennsylvania State University and USGS Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (2017–2019)
- Ph.D. Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, Colorado State University (2017)
- M.S. Fish and Wildlife Management, Montana State University (2011)
- B.S. Natural Resources, Cornell University (2009)
Her research integrates empirical, experimental, and computational methods to address conservation challenges, particularly related to amphibians and disease. Key areas include Batrachochytrium pathogens, road mortality mitigation, and interdisciplinary approaches to SARS-CoV-2 in wildlife. She emphasizes collaboration with managers to ensure science informs policy and practice.
Recent work highlights the importance of decision analysis frameworks for wildlife disease management and the role of One Health approaches in mitigating zoonotic risks. Her studies often involve spatial modeling and occupancy analysis to assess species distribution and pathogen prevalence.
Grants & Advising: While no formal student advisees are listed, her research has been supported through collaborative funding. She teaches courses including Principles of Wildlife Management, Field Herpetology, and Wildlife Disease Ecology.
Labs & Teams: Associated with the Wildlife Ecology Research Lab at UVM, focusing on applied ecological questions with direct conservation relevance.
