A study to explore the use of orbital remote sensing to determine native arid plant distribution [PDF]
, 1974 The author has identified the following significant results. It is possible to determine, from ERTS imagery, native arid plant distribution. Using techniques of multispectral masking and extensive fieldwork, three native vegetation communities were ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 860-871, April 2026.Using a 4‐year drought experiment in the hot deserts of the US, we found that herbaceous plant communities were more sensitive to seasonal precipitation than to the cumulative effects of drought. Abstract The hot deserts of the southwestern United States are experiencing increased frequency, severity, and duration of drought due to anthropogenic ...

Shrubs indirectly increase desert seedbanks through facilitation of the plant community [PDF]
, 2019 The mechanisms supporting positive ecological interactions are important. Foundation species can structure desert biodiversity by facilitating seedbanks of annual plants, but the direct and indirect mechanisms of shrub effects on seedbank have not been ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.This study evaluated whether artificial shelters can mimic the microclimatic benefits of foundation shrubs to support vertebrate biodiversity in dryland ecosystems facing desertification. Surveys conducted at Californian desert sites (2022–2023) showed that artificial shelters increased vertebrate abundance and richness, performing comparably to native
