About
Bryce A. Richardson is a research geneticist whose work sits at the intersection of conservation biology, landscape genetics, and restoration ecology. His research primarily focuses on the genetic diversity and adaptive capacity of plant species critical to the sagebrush steppe ecosystem, particularly in the face of wildfire, invasive species, and climate change. Richardson’s major contributions include developing genomic tools to guide seed sourcing for restoration, ensuring that plant materials are genetically appropriate and resilient for future conditions. He has also pioneered the use of emerging technologies, such as remote sensing and habitat modeling, to link plant genetics with wildlife habitat quality—most notably in studies of greater sage-grouse, a keystone species in the western U.S. His highly cited work on measuring habitat quality and behavior in grouse (2017) has informed land management strategies across millions of acres. With hundreds of citations and a portfolio of influential papers, Richardson’s research directly supports the restoration of imperiled ecosystems and the species that depend on them, making him a leading voice in applied conservation genetics.
