Adult sage‐grouse numbers rise following raven removal or an increase in precipitation
Weather and lethal control of common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, ravens) can affect the nesting success of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), but implications of these effects in terms of the subsequent size of the breeding population ...

Alternative Future Vegetation Pathways Reveal Potential Transformations of Western US Ecosystems
We used climate‐analog impact models (AIMs) to project changes in vegetation across the western United States under a mid‐21st century climate scenario, characterize ecological transformation vulnerability based on projection divergence, and demonstrate how AIMs can inform decision‐making.

Adaptability of Governance Structures and Processes for Sustainable Livestock in Jalisco, Mexico
ABSTRACT Global increases in meat production have intensified interest in alternative livestock systems that can address environmental, social, and economic challenges. Transitioning toward sustainable livestock (SL) systems requires adaptive governance arrangements that integrate local knowledge into broader policy design.

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

Home Range and Movements of Greater Sage-grouse in its Southern-most Distribution [PDF]
In Utah Greater sage-grouse (sage-grouse) habitat has been reduced to 50% of what is considered historical availability, due to habitat degradation and loss. We conducted a small study to determine the home range size, space use, and movement patterns of

Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant
