How many leks does it take? Minimum samples sizes for measuring local-scale conservation outcomes in Greater Sage-Grouse

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Monitoring population response to conservation actions, such as habitat management, is critical to evaluate conservation outcomes. Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) has been the recipient of substantial recent conservation efforts in North ...

Concomitant cartilage restoration does not demonstrate consistent additional clinical benefit in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: A systematic review

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This review specifically evaluates whether the presence of cartilage lesions, or their surgical treatment, modifies the clinical benefit of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. Methods A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses) guidelines ...

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

Evaluating vital rate contributions to greater sage‐grouse population dynamics to inform conservation

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Species conservation efforts often use short‐term studies that fail to identify the vital rates that contribute most to population growth. Although the greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is a candidate for protection under the U.

High‐Performance Self‐Powered Perovskite Photodiodes for Blue‐Light Detection Using Anisole‐Assisted Precursor Engineering

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Anisole‐assisted precursor engineering provides a simple route to high‐quality perovskite films for self‐powered blue‐light photodetection. Anisole promotes grain growth and suppresses pinholes, reducing dark current while improving external quantum efficiency and detectivity.

Ecology of greater sage-grouse populations inhabiting the northwestern Wyoming Basin

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Range-wide population declines of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) have been largely attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. However, the specific conservation threats affecting the ecology of sage-grouse populations may

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

The importance of simulation assumptions when evaluating detectability in population models

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Population monitoring is important for investigating a variety of ecological questions, and N‐mixture models are increasingly used to model population size (N) and trends (λ) while estimating detectability (p) from repeated counts within primary periods (

To release or not to release? Understanding sawfish release behavior in a global south complex fishery

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This demonstrates the gap between existing top‐down laws and strategies (Current Approach) and the barriers fishers face while proposing an alternative pathway (Proposed Approach) based on collaboration, capacity building, and addressing socio‐economic factors.
