Leveraging Next‐Generation Tools for Genetic Assessment and Demographic Monitoring in Threatened and Elusive Humboldt Martens

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation assessments of imperiled species require information on population structure, abundance, and connectivity which benefit from integrated demographic and genetic data. Humboldt martens (Martes caurina humboldtensis) are a federally threatened subspecies of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) whose conservation has been hindered by ...

Impacts of coyote removal on space use by greater sage-grouse

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are in decline across western North America. Identification of management strategies to enhance populations, such as predator management, may be needed to reduce further declines, but unintentional effects ...

The abundance of Greater Sage-Grouse as a proxy for the abundance of sagebrush-associated songbirds in Wyoming, USA

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Surrogate-species concepts are prevalent in animal conservation. Such strategies advocate for conservation by proxy, wherein one species is used to represent other taxa to obtain a conservation objective.

Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Age and sex identification from wings of sage‐grouse

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
We redefine and clarify procedures to classify sex and age (juveniles, yearlings, adults, and breeding‐age) of greater (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison sage‐grouse (C. minimus) from wings.

Carbon and water dynamics of Old World bluestem in the U.S. Southern Great Plains

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Forage production in the Southern Great Plains of the United States relies heavily on Old World bluestem (OWB, Bothriochloa spp.). This study analyzed 4 years (2021–2024) of continuous eddy covariance measurements in a managed OWB pasture in central Oklahoma, spanning both drought and wet periods.
