Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Species often exhibit regionally specific habitat associations, so habitat association models developed in one region might not be accurate or even appropriate for other regions. Three programs to survey wetland‐breeding birds covering (respectively) Great Lakes coastal wetlands, inland Great Lakes wetlands, and the Prairie Pothole Region ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 We studied microhabitat and home‐range characteristics of the king rail, a secretive marsh bird of conservation concern, in the western Lake Erie region. Our results suggest that king rails in the region have mean home‐range sizes of 8.8 ha (±1.63 [SE]; range = 1.9 to 15.8) and utilize water depths of 6 to 17 cm within dense vegetation.

Yellow rail auditory detection during the non‐breeding season
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 3, April 2023., 2023 Yellow rails were recently recorded producing a previously undocumented vocalization in a coastal Texas salt marsh in January 2022. We found that this vocalization can be used to elicit the same vocalization in response during call‐playback surveys, and autonomous recording unit recordings demonstrate that yellow rails will also give this call ...

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Terminal channels were historically a common feature of tidal delta ecosystems but have become increasingly rare as landscapes have been modified. Tidal hydrodynamics are a defining feature in tidal terminal channel ecosystems from which native aquatic communities have evolved.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.Abstract Introduction Process‐based restoration is novel in livestock production systems of the Northern Great Plains (NGP), and limited region‐specific evidence can impede adoption. We investigated the effects of methods such as beaver dam analogs (BDAs) on NGP plant communities.

Abundance estimates of eastern black rails in southeastern Colorado
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.This study estimated eastern black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) detection, occupancy, and abundance in southeastern Colorado. We found detection probability increased later in the season and later at night but decreased with ambient noise. Occupancy increased with residual vegetation height and detection of Virginia rail (Rallus limicola).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.

Transition Zones at the Changing Coastal Terrestrial‐Aquatic Interface
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Coastal soils are a significant but highly uncertain component of global biogeochemical cycles. These systems experience spatial and temporal variability in biogeochemical processes, driven by marsh‐to‐upland gradients and hydrological fluctuations.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.Public–private partnership programs can be an important means for promoting wetland conservation and management on private lands. We investigated bird use of 117 wetlands enrolled in the California Waterfowl Habitat Program in California's Central Valley.

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 7, Page 2137-2149, September 2025.Virus transmission experiments showed that Luteovirus transmission efficiency is not affected by the insecticide resistance status of the English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae. ABSTRACT The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a significant agricultural pest in Europe that damages cereal crops by feeding on the grain and by transmitting viruses (e.g.
