Ephemeral flows and vegetation productivity: Insights for desert conservation
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract In desert environments, infrequent but intense rainfall events drive ephemeral flows that shape the landscape, influence vegetation patterns, and sustain biodiversity. However, despite their ecological and hydrological importance, ephemeral flows are poorly mapped and assessed, hindering effective study, management, and conservation.

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

A WRKY Gene from Creosote Bush Encodes an Activator of the Abscisic Acid Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 The creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) is a xerophytic evergreen C3 shrub thriving in vast arid areas of North America. As the first step toward understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling the drought tolerance of this desert plant, we have isolated a dozen genes encoding transcription factors, including LtWRKY21 that encodes a protein of 314 ...

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.

Review of the genus Dendrocoris Bergroth with descriptions of new species (Pentatomidae: Heteroptera) [PDF]
, 1999 The procleticine genus Dendrocoris Bergroth is revised with the descriptions of three new species from the United States, D. nelsoni, Mexico, D. inermis, and Guatemala, D. guatemalensis. A diagnosis is provided for each species with notes on distribution

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 ...
