Duck Productivity in Restored Species-Rich Native and Species-Poor Non-Native Plantings [PDF]
, 2013 Conservation efforts to increase duck production have led the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to restore grasslands with multi-species (3-5) mixtures of introduced cool season vegetation often termed dense nesting cover (DNC).

Spatially explicit modeling of blackbird abundance in the Prairie Pothole Region
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2015 ABSTRACTKnowledge of factors influencing animal abundance is important to wildlife biologists developing management plans. This is especially true for economically important species such as blackbirds (Icteridae), which cause more than $100 million in crop damages annually in the United States.

Beavers on Ice: Factors Influencing Emergence Phenology in Boreal Canada
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.Climate‐driven changes in ice phenology influence the timing of spring emergence of a non‐hibernating ice‐bound mammal, the North American beaver. ABSTRACT The influence of climate change on emergence phenology of hibernating mammals in northern latitudes is receiving increased attention, yet for freshwater semi‐aquatic mammals such as beavers, which ...

Restoration for Wild Bee Community Recovery in the Prairie Pothole Region
, 2021 Agricultural intensification is a widespread driver of global pollinator decline, which can subsequently threaten the ecosystem services provided to flowering food crops and wild vegetation species. In North America's Prairie Pothole Region, wetlands surrounded by grassland were once abundant on the landscape, but now generally exist within a matrix of

Marsh Interspersion and Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Habitat Use
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We used camera traps to measure intensity of habitat use by muskrats along a gradient of marsh interspersion to determine whether reduced interspersion, which may be linked to the invasion of Typha x glauca, may be contributing to widespread muskrat population declines.

Breeding Waterfowl Populations in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota
The Condor, 1974 The pothole areas within the glaciated, northern prairies and adjoining parklands of southcentral Canada and north-central United States are the principal breeding grounds for many species of North American ducks. Millions of pairs, including dabbling ducks (Anatinae) and diving ducks (Aythyinae and Oxyurinae), resort here for nesting each year.

Landscape genetics reveal broad and fine‐scale population structure due to landscape features and climate history in the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) in North Dakota [PDF]
, 2018 Prehistoric climate and landscape features play large roles structuring wildlife populations. The amphibians of the northern Great Plains of North America present an opportunity to investigate how these factors affect colonization, migration, and current
