About Carl Sanfilipo
This research compares a MaxEnt model of wild horse distribution, derived from four years of empirical BLM data, with an expert-informed model based on literature and firsthand accounts. It evaluates whether the two approaches yield comparable insights into herd preference patterns, informing cost-effective strategies for modeling and management.
