High and dry: Environmental conditions drive opportunities for disease transmission in desert bighorn sheep

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
By using probabilistic models to predict contacts as a function of spatially and temporally varying environmental conditions, we show that population‐level conditions at the time of disease introduction can structure opportunities for transmission within each population.

Adaptation and Response in Drylands: A Dryland Research Agenda and Campaign Strategy

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
The Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) campaign was selected by NASA as a scoping study to develop a research agenda for a dryland field campaign. Here, we detail our ARID science research agenda and implementation plan that were developed based on an extensive community engagement effort in over 160 events with over a thousand scientists, land

High quality draft genome sequence of Mycoplasma testudineum strain BH29T, isolated from the respiratory tract of a desert tortoise

open access: yesStandards in Genomic Sciences, 2018
Mycoplasma testudineum is one of the pathogens that can cause upper respiratory tract disease in desert tortoises, Gopherus agassizii. We sequenced the genome of M. testudineum BH29T (ATCC 700618T = MCCM 03231T), isolated from the upper respiratory tract

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

New medicine for soil restoration: biological soil crust capsules facilitate native plant and soil microbe establishment

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...

Effects of invasive plants on fire regimes and postfire vegetation diversity in an arid ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
We assessed the impacts of co‐occurring invasive plant species on fire regimes and postfire native communities in the Mojave Desert, western USA. We analyzed the distribution and co‐occurrence patterns of three invasive annual grasses (Bromus rubens ...

Dimensions of dace dynamics: temporal variation in abundance and survival of an imperiled desert fish guide habitat restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Desert fishes are vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental alterations that degrade habitat and reduce water availability, but these same fishes benefit from restoration actions that reverse the causes of decline. Ash Meadows speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis) is a federally endangered minnow endemic to the Mojave ...
