The influence of fire interval on community structure in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

The UW National Parks Service Research Station Annual Reports, 2017
With fires becoming more common in the intermountain West, understanding patterns of post-fire succession and the role of fire interval in shaping community responses has become critical. In 2016, the Berry Fire burned through 4 study grids which have been the focus of a long-term fire succession project started after the massive 1988 fire season.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Post-Fire Nitrogen Dynamics of Lodgepole Pine Forests in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

, 2001
Our study addresses the effects of fire­generated landscape patterns, or variability in structure and composition of successional forest communities, on ecosystem processes such as biogeochemical cycling and productivity. Forest fire is a well-studied

Alternative foraging strategies enable a mountain ungulate to persist after migration loss

Ecosphere, 2017
The persistence of many migratory ungulate populations worldwide is threatened due to anthropogenic impacts to seasonal ranges and migration routes. While many studies have linked migratory ungulate declines to migration disruption or loss, very few have

What does the fox select? Spatial ecology of Rocky Mountain red fox during peaks and troughs of human recreation

Ecosphere
Understanding animal behavior at the population level can be challenging, especially in the presence of intraspecific variation in behavioral tactics. Individuals within a population often vary with respect to resource exploitation and use, which may be ...

Population trends and distributions of 12 elk herds in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

, 2014
(A) Annual ranges of six elk herds colonized by wolves after wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park (YNP, black polygon) in 1995 and 1996 and six elk herds that were not known to be recolonized by wolves before 2010. Areas between polygons also

Where the buffalo roam: Ungulate influences on quaking aspen and willow communities in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Ecosphere
Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) and willows (Salix spp.) are keystone species of montane and shrub‐steppe landscapes of the Western United States. Intact communities dominated by these species provide a wide range of ecosystem services, harboring an ...

Scent detection dogs detect a species of hard tick, Dermacentor albipictus, with comparable accuracy and efficiency to traditional tick drag surveys

Parasites & Vectors
Background Accurate surveillance data are critical for addressing tick and tick-borne pathogen risk to human and animal health. Current surveillance methods for detecting invading or expanding tick species are limited in their ability to scale ...
