Grackles [PDF]

, 2020
Numbering in the tens of millions of birds, grackle populations in North America can cause a variety of conflicts with people. Grackles eat agricultural crops and livestock feed, damage property, spread pathogens, and collide with aircraft.

Challenged by a Climate Oscillation: Hydrology and Management of a Terminal Lake and Wetland Through the 20th Century

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
Situated in Alberta, Canada, Frank Lake is a terminal or endorheic lake that supports prolific waterfowl and other wildlife and remediates municipal and agro‐industrial wastewater. The lake periodically rose and fell over the past century and the correspondences with climate, weather and management revealed the predominant correspondence with the ...

Use of macroinvertebrates to identify cultivated wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region [PDF]

Wetlands, 2001
We evaluated the use of macroinvertebrates as a potential tool to identify dry and intensively farmed temporary and seasonal wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region. The techniques we designed and evaluated used the dried remains of invertebrates or their egg banks in soils as indicators of wetlands. For both the dried remains of invertebrates and their

Surface-subsurface modeling of water dynamics in drained and farmed wetlands in the prairie pothole region

Agricultural Water Management
A hydrologic model was developed to investigate the surface ponding dynamics in a pothole complex in Iowa's prairie pothole region. This study includes a description of the ponding process, the identification of the main drivers of surface ponding, and ...

Reducing Uncertainties in Net Carbon Capture to Advance Wetlands as Natural Climate Solutions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role as natural climate solutions (NCS) by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the form of organic carbon (OC) in soils. However, spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability in OC sequestration rates introduce uncertainties that must be addressed to inform climate policy and meet national climate targets.

Alternative stable states in inherently unstable systems

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Alternative stable states are nontransitory states within which communities can exist. However, even highly dynamic communities can be viewed within the framework of stable‐state theory if an appropriate “ecologically relevant” time scale is identified ...

Landowner and biologist perceptions of game bird predators and management

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Nest survival has been identified as one of the most influential vital rates causing population change in game birds, and depredation, often influenced by habitat loss and fragmentation, is the primary cause of nest failure of upland game birds.

Identifying Priority Vegetation Zones for Floodplain Wetland Management Based on Hydrological and Meteorological Drivers

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract While hydrology and meteorology influence floodplain wetland vegetation, their relative contributions and spatial patterns remain poorly quantified. Hydrological conditions, in particular, can be altered by anthropogenic activities such as damming.

Climate trends of the North American prairie pothole region 1906–2000

Climatic Change, 2009
The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) is unique to North America. Its millions of wetlands and abundant ecosystem goods and services are highly sensitive to wide variations of temperature and precipitation in time and space characteristic of a strongly continental climate.

Long-term changes in pond permanence, size, and salinity in Prairie Pothole Region wetlands: The role of groundwater-pond interaction

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2018
Study Region: Cottonwood Lake area wetlands, North Dakota, U.S.A. Study Focus: Fluctuations in pond permanence, size, and salinity are key features of prairie-pothole wetlands that provide a variety of wetland habitats for waterfowl in the northern ...
