Factors affecting early plant survival in restoration of Mediterranean‐type climate shrublands

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We undertook post‐fire restoration in southern California's shrubland with some portion of plants receiving supplemental irrigation. After 2.5 years survival was higher in California sage scrub (CSS) versus chaparral species and only slightly higher in irrigated individuals.

Greater sage‐grouse dynamics are influenced by winter temperature rather than indices of grazing, drought, and breeding season weather in a northern Great Plains population

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the impacts of grazing, climatic variability, and vegetation productivity on the population dynamics of a northern Great Plains greater sage‐grouse population. We found winter temperature influenced annual population growth rates, but did not detect influences of drought, breeding season weather, vegetation productivity or short‐term ...

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

Occurrence and distribution of sarcoptic mange in wild Neotropical canids

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Sarcoptic mange affects most Neotropical canid species across multiple countries. It represents a widespread yet largely overlooked conservation threat with potential for cross‐species transmission. Coordinated monitoring and management efforts are needed to understand and mitigate its impacts. Abstract Sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease caused

Using multiple scales of movement to highlight risk–reward strategies of coyotes (Canis latrans) in mixed‐use landscapes

Ecosphere
Many wildlife species vary habitat selection across space, time, and behavior to maximize rewards and minimize risk. Multi‐scale research approaches that identify variation in wildlife habitat selection can highlight not only habitat preferences and risk

New medicine for soil restoration: biological soil crust capsules facilitate native plant and soil microbe establishment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...

Dimensions of dace dynamics: temporal variation in abundance and survival of an imperiled desert fish guide habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Desert fishes are vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental alterations that degrade habitat and reduce water availability, but these same fishes benefit from restoration actions that reverse the causes of decline. Ash Meadows speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis) is a federally endangered minnow endemic to the Mojave ...

Selection in the third dimension: Using LiDAR derived canopy metrics to assess individual and population‐level habitat partitioning of ocelots, bobcats, and coyotes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Wildlife depends on specific landscape features to persist. Thus, characterizing the vegetation available in an area can be essential for management.
