eBird Data Highlight Shifts in Wetland Resources Structuring Waterfowl and Shorebird Abundance. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWetland losses in the American West, driven by accelerated drying, overlapped multiple shorebird and waterfowl life histories. Trends were indicators of declining availability and increased uncertainty in waterbird habitat networks. Losses were pervasive in semi‐permanent wetlands, with 19%–48% reductions over the past two decades.

Water Resources ResearchModeling streamflow in low‐lying, flat, and pothole‐dominated prairie or Arctic regions is challenging due to variable non‐contributing areas that influence how runoff translates to streamflow. Several modeling approaches have been developed to represent

Climate and Land Use Driven Ecosystem Homogenization in the Prairie Pothole Region
Water, 2022 The homogenization of freshwater ecosystems and their biological communities has emerged as a prevalent and concerning phenomenon because of the loss of ecosystem multifunctionality. The millions of prairie-pothole wetlands scattered across the Prairie Pothole Region (hereafter PPR) provide critical ecosystem functions at local, regional, and ...

Conservation Planning in an Era of Change: State of the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013 We assessed attainability of landscape‐level conservation planning goals in the United States portion of the Prairie Pothole Region by summarizing and analyzing data on status, trends, and potential future of grasslands and wetlands.

Breeding Ecology of the Critically Endangered Baer's Pochard (<i>Aythya baeri</i>): Nest Threats and Conservation Implications. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study identifies that the daily nest survival of Baer's Pochard was primarily influenced by three factors: it increased with greater distance from the shore and the height above water, and decreased with later laying dates. Both nest location and timing were identified as critical factors for reproductive success.

Long‐term spatial heterogeneity in mallard distribution in the Prairie pothole region
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of north‐central United States and south‐central Canada supports greater than half of all breeding mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) annually counted in North America and is the focus of widespread conservation and research ...

Assessing runoff sensitivity of North American Prairie Pothole Region basins to wetland drainage using a basin classification-based virtual modelling approach [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Wetland drainage has been pervasive in the North American Prairie Pothole Region. There is strong evidence that this drainage increases the hydrological connectivity of previously isolated wetlands and, in turn, runoff response to snowmelt and rainfall ...
