Causes of Pneumonia Epizootics among Bighorn Sheep, Western United States, 2008–2010

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep is a devastating disease of uncertain etiology. To help clarify the etiology, we used culture and culture-independent methods to compare the prevalence of the bacterial respiratory pathogens Mannheimia haemolytica ...

Structural interpretations based on ERTS-1 imagery, Bighorn Region, Wyoming-Montana [PDF]

open access: yes
Structural analysis is being carried out on bands MSS 5 and 7 of scene 1085-17294. Geologic strucutre is primarily revealed in the topographic relief and drainage. Topographic linears are particularly well developed in the bighorn uplift.

Acute drought desiccates highly used habitat and drives herbivores into irrigated croplands

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract In arid and semiarid regions, extreme, extended droughts are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Drought is driving wildlife to seek out food or water resources where they are not as limited, such as in irrigated croplands. We collected GPS locations from 41 mule deer, a generalist herbivore reliant on primary productivity, within ...

Sapsucker Wells as a Keystone Nutritional Resource: Evaluating Methods for Detection of Secondary Sap Consumers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We used direct observations, camera traps, and environmental DNA (eDNA) to identify secondary consumers of sap from wells created by red‐naped (S. nuchalis) and Williamson's (S. thyroideus) sapsuckers among three groups of shrubs and trees in south‐central Colorado, USA.

Bison and bighorns: Assessing the potential impacts of reintroducing a large herbivore to a mountainous landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The reintroduction of wildlife can have significant ecological impacts by altering the flow of energy in food webs. Recently, plains bison were reintroduced to part of Banff National Park after a 150‐year absence. The large herbivore's reintroduction was

Exotic deer in southern Latin America: what do we know about impacts on native deer and on ecosystems? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A recent review on exotic cervids concluded that deer introduced to Patagonia impacted habitat and native huemul deer Hippocamelus bisulcus. I evaluate these assertions and amend information about this South American case study.

Long-term studies of bighorn sheep and mountain goats reveal fitness costs of reproduction.

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2019
Fitness costs of reproduction are expected when resources are limited. Costs drive the evolution of life-history strategies and can affect population dynamics if females change their allocation of resources to reproduction.

open access: yesEcosphere
Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is a primary causative agent responsible for initiating polymicrobial pneumonia in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). Infections of bighorn sheep populations are typically characterized by initial all‐age epizootics followed by ...
