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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Potential effects of environmental change on mining wastes in a hyperarid climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Three desert washes were sampled to evaluate the transport of contaminated sediments from abandoned mining sites to downwash environments. The area of concern is an extreme arid climate considered stable and not to pose pathways for contaminated ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesEcological 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.

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.

Arguments for and against self and non-self root recognition in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Root–root interaction research gained more and more attention over the past few years. Roots are pivotal for plant survival because they ensure uptake of water and nutrients.

Bite‐DNA Shows Substantial Browsing on Willows (Salix spp.) by North American Bison in Yellowstone National Park

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Riparian willows in Yellowstone National Park are shaped by ungulate browsing, but species‐specific contributions remain unclear. Using bite‐DNA metabarcoding of browsed willow twigs across six northern range sites, we found that American bison were the most frequent browsers, exceeding elk and often mule deer.

Environmental factors influencing detection of ring‐necked pheasant broods during August roadside surveys

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We evaluated the influence of environmental factors on detection probability of ring‐necked pheasant broods surveyed during roadside surveys across 11 states. Wind speed, cloud cover, morning dew conditions, and soil moisture influenced detection probabilities and should be the focus of methodological or statistical control in future landscape‐scale ...

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.

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

open access: yesAmerican 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.
