Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Long‐legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) nests function as long‐term reservoirs of macroplastics, with plastic material persisting in nest structures and being transferred to other bird species through interspecific nest reuse. This persistence creates an overlooked pathway for the accumulation and spread of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We summarise Denmark's long historical dispersal events, understanding their directional, distance and regional flow characteristics. Comparing natal dispersals and breeding dispersals, provides insights for further research. ABSTRACT The dispersal of migratory birds is a crucial process that directly influences population viability, genetic ...

Hurricane Sandy and engineered response created habitat for a threatened shorebird
Ecosphere, 2019 The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged.

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Home range size in Great Lakes Piping Plovers: implications for conservation and management.
, 1996 The Great Lakes population of Piping Plovers is the smallest and most heavily managed breeding assemblage of this endangered shorebird. As plover nesting beaches are increasingly threatened by development, conservation of adequate shoreline is essential ...
