Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Spatial and ecological variation in dryland ecohydrological responses to climate change: implications for management

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Ecohydrological responses to climate change will exhibit spatial variability and understanding the spatial pattern of ecological impacts is critical from a land management perspective.

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Understanding the future of big sagebrush regeneration: challenges of projecting complex ecological processes

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Regeneration is an essential demographic step that affects plant population persistence, recovery after disturbances, and potential migration to track suitable climate conditions.

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Microsite selection improves post‐fire restoration of singleleaf pinyon pine on Washoe Tribal lands in the Pine Nut Mountains, NV, USA

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) holds both ecological and cultural significance for Indigenous Tribes of the Great Basin, such as the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. Recent wildfires on Washoe Tribal lands have resulted in the loss of important pinyon pine groves, prompting collaborative efforts to develop post ...

Cumulative effects of an herbivorous ecosystem engineer in a heterogeneous landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Foraging by herbivores alters individual plants and vegetation communities directly, and engineering behaviors such as bioturbation (digging and turning soil) and biodeposition (deposition of feces and urine) can affect soils and physical properties that

Historical fire regimes and contemporary fire effects within sagebrush habitats of Gunnison Sage‐grouse

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
The historical role of fire in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) landscapes remains poorly understood, yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage‐grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus).

Warming reduces the quality of forage resources in a Colorado meadow ecosystem

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rangelands provide ecosystem services that support approximately 30% of the human population. To maintain sustainable forage resources for animals in grasslands, it is essential to manage grazing pressures by adapting to changes in the quantity and nutritional quality of vegetation affected by climate change and subsequent shifts in plant ...

Repeated fire altered succession and increased fire behavior in basin big sagebrush–native perennial grasslands

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
The structure and composition of sagebrush‐dominated ecosystems have been altered by changes in fire regimes, land use, invasive species, and climate change.
