The genetic legacy of 50 years of desert bighorn sheep translocations
Evolutionary Applications, 2019 Conservation biologists have increasingly used translocations to mitigate population declines and restore locally extirpated populations. Genetic data can guide the selection of source populations for translocations and help evaluate restoration success.

Linear and landscape disturbances alter Mojave desert tortoise movement behavior
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionAnimal movements are influenced by landscape features; disturbances to the landscape can alter movements, dispersal, and ultimately connectivity among populations.

Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1826-1846, August 2026.Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Demography of Mohave ground squirrels, a state‐threatened species, was influenced by individual, geographic, and environmental factors. Our results illustrate how long‐term population monitoring can be used to support management of conservation‐relevant species affected by climate change and drought.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.In this study, we examined the codiversification and phylogeography of Camponotus laevigatus and its obligate endosymbiont Blochmanniella using a population genomic approach. Using whole‐genome sequencing, we identified three phylogeographic clusters with congruent host‐endosymbiont phylogenies, significant isolation‐by‐distance, and Pleistocene ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Evaporation plays an essential role in the water cycle, influencing local and regional climates while directly impacting water availability in lakes. However, directly measuring evaporation over water bodies remains challenging due to the high costs of installing and maintaining the required in situ instrumentation.

Global Ecology and ConservationA persistent lack of juvenile recruitment in populations of the imperiled Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) has been attributed to artificially inflated populations of coyotes (Canis latrans) and common ravens (Corvus corax) in some areas ...

Triple Oxygen and Hydrogen Isotopes of Soil Water Across Climates, Seasons, and Depths
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Soil waters are a central component of the terrestrial water cycle. Their δ2H, δ18O, and d‐excess values contain rich information about hydroclimate, including the source of moisture and its evaporative history. Paleoclimate workers seek to investigate ancient hydroclimates via triple oxygen isotope geochemistry, termed Δ′17O, which is ...
