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

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.

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

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.

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 ...

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