Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Microsites beneath shrub canopies in dryland landscapes characterized by a mosaic of bare ground and patchy vegetation are often considered critical for the establishment of understory species. “Shrub islands” can create more favorable environmental conditions for both early plant establishment and longer term persistence near the shrub canopy

Effect of Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) on cholesterol gallstones and bile secretion in hamsters
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2005 Abstract Larrea tridentata (Sesse and Moc. ex DC.) Coville is used for the treatment of gallstones in traditional Mexican medicine. The possible prevention or elimination of gallstones by ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves and twigs of L. tridentata was tested in hamsters fed a rich carbohydrate, fat-free diet. In addition, the

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1245-1257, September/October 2025.Abstract Agroecosystems, which include row crops, pasture, and grass and shrub grazing lands, are sensitive to changes in management, weather, and genetics. To better understand how these systems are responding to changes, we need to improve monitoring and modeling carbon and water dynamics.

Ephemeral vegetation drivers of occupancy dynamics of Mojave desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii)
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Understanding the factors associated with the probability of a species occurring across the landscape has become a foundational component of wildlife management and monitoring. Static factors (e.g., plot characteristics that are consistent across time, such as topography or permanent woody vegetation) are often investigated, but changing ...

Coyote (Canis latrans) Macronutrient Consumption and Diet Relative to Seasonality and Urbanization
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Using the geometric framework of nutrition, we assessed the macronutrient composition of coyote diets seasonally and relative to urbanization via scats collected in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, AZ, USA. We found coyotes ate more nonprotein energy relative to protein energy when seasonally or environmentally available.

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1257-1268, May 2025.Abstract Provoked by a lack of appropriate political action on the global climate and biodiversity crisis, we present a perspective advocating and demonstrating a new plurality in scientific communication methods. Science writing, in being objective and dispassionate, actively seeks to mask empathetic connection and hides curiosities that may exist ...

Spatial distribution of creosote bush and burrobush in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts
, 2013 Background/Question/Methods The vegetation of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts is characterized by widespread shrublands dominated by Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) and Ambrosia dumosa (burrobush). These shrub species create fertility islands that influence the distribution of native and invasive annual plants.
