Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Coping with change: Interactive effects of anthropogenic change influence the breeding success and survival of a desert‐dwelling cooperative breeder

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Habitat modification and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. Using 38 years of data (1985–2023), we examined their combined influence on a desert‐dwelling cooperative breeder's reproductive success and projected the likely magnitude of future effects of ...

Plasma insulin‐like growth‐factor 1 (IGF‐1) concentrations predict early life‐history traits in a wild mammal

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The hormone insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) is a key player in the insulin/IGF signalling (IIS) pathway. Extensive biogerontological research demonstrates that this evolutionarily conserved nutrient‐sensing pathway plays a causal role in the regulation of growth ...

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Evaluating vital rate contributions to greater sage‐grouse population dynamics to inform conservation

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Species conservation efforts often use short‐term studies that fail to identify the vital rates that contribute most to population growth. Although the greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is a candidate for protection under the U.
