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

Ecosphere, 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.

Synthesis and Fluorescence Profiling of Naphthylamine Analogs

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.
N‐phenyl‐1‐naphthylamine (NPN) has been historically used as a probe to monitor gram‐negative bacterial outer membrane permeabilization, fluorescing only in hydrophobic environments. Herein, a 95‐membered naphthylamine library was synthesized to explore structure–fluorescence relationships, informed by density functional theory studies.

Potential for post‐fire recovery of Greater Sage‐grouse habitat

Ecosphere, 2019
In the western United States, fire has become a significant concern in the management of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems. This is due to large‐scale increases in cover of the fire‐prone invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.)

Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

Scale Dependent Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Population Change in Anadromous Sea Trout (Salmo trutta) in Scotland Over Seven Decades

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial scale at which temporal change in a population is measured has the potential to skew the inferences drawn on patterns of change from monitoring data. This study analysed data from rod catches of anadromous sea trout (Salmo trutta) in Scotland over 72 years and three spatial scales (National, Regional and District).

Wildlife damage to crops: Perceptions of agricultural and wildlife leaders in 1957, 1987, and 2017

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
A national survey of wildlife agency directors was conducted during 1957 to determine their perceptions of wildlife damage to agriculture. This study was repeated in 1987, expanding the sample to include chief executive officers of state Farm Bureaus and

Plume‐Fed Magmatic Fluids Weakened Crust and Promoted a Large Intraplate Earthquake in Northern Hainan (South China)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Large intraplate earthquakes are paradoxical because they occur far from active plate boundaries. Northern Hainan Island (South China) hosts the 1605 Qiongbei M7.5 earthquake within a volcanic province linked to the Hainan mantle plume. New shear‐wave velocity images reveal two shallow low‐velocity zones extending to ∼10 km depth: a stronger ...

Phenology largely explains taller grass at successful nests in greater sage‐grouse

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Much interest lies in the identification of manageable habitat variables that affect key vital rates for species of concern. For ground‐nesting birds, vegetation surrounding the nest may play an important role in mediating nest success by providing ...

A fully coupled dynamic poroelastic analysis for partially saturated soils incorporating inertial effects under transient stress loading

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract An accurate characterization of transient interactions between interstitial fluid flow and solid matrix deformation under dynamic stress loading is essential for understanding the poroelastic response of unconsolidated, fluid‐bearing sedimentary deposits.

Collaboration in Cross‐Jurisdictional Water Quality Governance: A Novel Framework and Case Study

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Collaborative governance is often employed to address the inherent complexity of surface water quality governance and provides a structure for cooperation across federal, tribal, state, and local boundaries. However, although guidance exists for assessing specific dimensions of collaborative governance, tools to comprehensively evaluate the ...
