Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1115-1141, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

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

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
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 ...

Triple Oxygen and Hydrogen Isotopes of Soil Water Across Climates, Seasons, and Depths

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soil waters are a central component of the terrestrial water cycle. Their δ2H, δ18O, and d‐excess values contain rich information about hydroclimate, including the source of moisture and its evaporative history. Paleoclimate workers seek to investigate ancient hydroclimates via triple oxygen isotope geochemistry, termed Δ′17O, which is ...

Protecting restoration investments from the cheatgrass‐fire cycle in sagebrush steppe

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
The U.S. federal government has recently committed to the difficult task of slowing and managing the invasive grass‐fire cycle in sagebrush steppe, where property, livelihoods, and entire ecosystems are at risk.

A matter of timing: sagebrush steppe restoration seeding outcomes altered by species responses to warmer spring temperatures and interannual weather variation

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

Ecosystem resilience is evident 17 years after fire in Wyoming big sagebrush ecosystems

Ecosphere, 2016
Recent policy has focused on prevention of wildfire in the sagebrush steppe in an effort to protect habitat for the greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus).

Native perennial grasses show evolutionary response to Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) invasion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Invasive species can change selective pressures on native plants by altering biotic and abiotic conditions in invaded habitats. Although invasions can lead to native species extirpation, they may also induce rapid evolutionary changes in remnant native ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Data reconciliation in multi‐trait experiments with kinship ordination

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1799-1817, June 2026.
Abstract A central aim in biology is understanding the heritability of traits and how trait interactions contribute to success in diverse environments. Experiments that record multiple traits from individuals of known pedigree or genetic relatedness in distinct environments are key to addressing this aim.

Occupancy and abundance of predator and prey: implications of the fire‐cheatgrass cycle in sagebrush ecosystems

Ecosphere, 2016
Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) ecosystems are declining due to biological invasions and changes in fire regimes. Understanding how ecosystem changes influence functionally important animals such as ecosystem engineers is essential to conserve ...
