Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant

A mobile tool for capturing greater sage‐grouse

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Capturing greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) using standard approaches can be challenging and inefficient, particularly in areas with relatively small populations and patchy habitat.

Developing New Methods to Quantify Stress in Wildlife Using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]

, 2011
Stress levels in wildlife species are an accurate indicator of an animal’s well-being and can reflect decreases in habitat quality. Stress levels can be measured by the presence of the stress response hormones cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone ...

Greater Sage-Grouse and Community Responses to Strategies to Mitigate Environmental Resistance in an Anthropogenic Altered Sagebrush Landscape [PDF]

, 2021
Sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are diverse habitats found throughout western North America. Anthropogenic disturbances has resulted in the loss of over half of the sagebrush ecosystems impacting sagebrush obligate species such as sage-grouse ...

Identifying climate‐change refugia for species management and conservation in the Pacific Northwest

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The impacts of climate change are already affecting many species and habitats, presenting challenges for species management and conservation. Protecting climate refugia—areas buffered from climate shifts where species can persist despite broader changes—has been proposed as a tool for managing species under climate change.

Maladaptive nest‐site selection and reduced nest survival in female sage‐grouse following wildfire

Ecosphere, 2022
Increased wildfire frequency and associated replacement of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) with invasive annual grasses contribute to declines of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) populations across the Great Basin ...

Fine-scale genetic structure among greater sage-grouse leks in central Nevada [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Mating systems that reduce dispersal and lead to non-random mating might increase the potential for genetic structure to arise at fine geographic scales.

Landscape features and seasonal habitat predict lek site selection and lek size of a Tympanuchus grouse

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The lek hotspot hypothesis predicts that leks will form in areas where males are more likely to encounter females, providing wildlife managers with a framework supporting the use of leks as the focus for prairie and shrubland grouse conservation and monitoring.

Spatial scale selection for informing species conservation in a changing landscape

Ecosphere, 2022
Identifying the relevant spatial scale at which species respond to features in a landscape (scale of effect) is a pressing research need as managers work to reduce biodiversity loss amid a variety of environmental challenges.

Comparison of methods for estimating wild turkey poult survival

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Wild turkey poult survival is a challenging metric to measure in wild turkey reproduction, and interpreting this information can have significant implications for managers at the population scale. Flushing wild turkey broods and radio‐tagging poults produced similar estimates of poult survival over a 56‐day monitoring period post‐hatching. Both methods
