Differences in Phenological Estimation From Multi‐Vegetation Indices Across the Yellow River Basin
This study evaluated the differential performance of PPI, kNDVI, and EVI in monitoring land surface phenology across the Yellow River Basin. The three vegetation indices showed pronounced divergence in capturing autumn phenological metrics, particularly the downturn date (DD) and recession date (RD).

Seasonality and Grazing Exclusions Shape Bird Community Dynamics in West African Drylands
Seasonal changes, more than grazing exclusions, shape bird community composition in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. However, grazing exclusions enhanced habitat heterogeneity, supporting regional bird biodiversity and providing seasonal refuges that mitigate the effects of overgrazing.

Fire is an important driver of habitat selection by herbivores species and savannah ecology. The present study aims at assessing the fire role in determining the habitat selection by grazer species. Our results reveal that the majority of grazer species studied displayed a strong occurrences inclination towards recently burned areas during the season ...

The ecological footprint of recreation: Impacts on mountain goat habitat selection
Abstract Understanding the relationship between wildlife and their environment is important to wildlife management. Factors such as human disturbance that influence the behavior of animals have implications for management decisions and are critical to consider in evaluations of wildlife habitat selection.
