Nutritional and reproductive dynamics of moose near their southern range limit

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Though southern moose (Alces alces) had relatively low seasonal fluctuations in body fat, their condition was positively associated with pregnancy and adult survival but did not influence recruitment of young. We demonstrated clear signs of nutritional limitation and unexpected patterns of reproductive performance that may be unique to moose living at ...

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database – Systematic literature search up to 31 December 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Biocrust and seed placement influence emergence rates of perennial grass Elymus elymoides across five North American deserts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study underscores the importance of healthy and impaired biocrusts in dryland systems and suggests ways in which the combination of biocrust and seed placement can influence plant establishment, in addition to providing insight into seeding strategies for managers and restoration practitioners working in dryland sites.

Studies on the microbial populations of the rhizosphere of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata)

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2004
Prolonged use of broad-spectrum antibiotics has led to the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens, both in medicine and in agriculture. New threats such as biological warfare have increased the need for novel and efficacious antimicrobial agents. Natural habitats not previously examined as sources of novel antibiotic-producing microorganisms still exist.

Space between houses influences movement and habitat selection of ungulates: Width as a novel metric of development

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
In rural areas, maintaining spaces between houses >500 m will likely facilitate ungulate movement. To fully conserve functional habitat, such as unimpeded habitat use along migration corridors, maintaining spaces approximately >2.5 km between houses will likely be necessary. Abstract Wildlife often lose access to habitat due to housing development. The

Seed source climate and precipitation timing determine dryland tree recruitment in hot and dry range margins

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using a common garden study with experimental seasonal precipitation regimes, this study shows that intraspecific phenotypic variation mediates the effect of seasonal drought on Pinus monophylla recruitment, suggesting that different populations may respond uniquely to changes in climate.

Wildlife‐friendly fencing for bison: Assessing success for containment and conflict prevention

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
As land managers increasingly adopt wildlife‐friendly fencing to reduce habitat fragmentation, questions remain regarding their effectiveness in containing large species like plains bison (Bison bison). Our 822‐day study of a novel fencing system in Montana demonstrates high containment success, with only 31 escape events recorded.

Cytogeography and chromosome evolution of subgenus Tridentatae of Artemisia (Asteraceae) [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 1999
The subgenus Tridentatae of Artemisia (Asteraceae: Anthemideae) is composed of 11 species of various taxonomic and geographic complexities. It is centered on Artemisia tridentata with its three widespread common subspecies and two more geographically confined ones.

Songbird population trajectories diverge under simulations of conifer encroachment versus removal in a sagebrush ecosystem

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Woody plant encroachment into grasslands and shrublands is a global phenomenon that negatively impacts ecosystem services and wildlife populations. North American sagebrush ecosystems have experienced widespread degradation from encroaching conifers, leading to losses of sagebrush‐obligate wildlife.
