Rethinking the role of sheep in the local development of Patagonia, Argentina
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2016 Patagonia has the world’s southernmost rangelands, which are among the last to be dedicated to farming. Commercial sheep herding in the area only started 100–120 years ago and thrived until the 1930 world crisis, triggering the rapid colonization of ...

Whither the Rangeland?: Protection and Conversion in California's Rangeland Ecosystems
PLoS ONE, 2014 Land use change in rangeland ecosystems is pervasive throughout the western United States with widespread ecological, social and economic implications. In California, rangeland habitats have high biodiversity value, provide significant habitat connectivity and form the foundation for a number of ecosystem services.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Water harvesting model for improved rangeland productivity in Butana, Sudan
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2016 The above-ground biomass and floristic composition of Butana rangelands in Sudan were assessed in 2006 with field surveys covering 25 sites. The remote sensing data derived from Spot image for the same period was integrated to the field surveys to map ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

A Framework to Assess Returns on Investments in the Dryland Systems of Northern Kenya [PDF]
, 2015 Governments need quantitative assessments of the outcomes of proposed investments so they can weigh the merits of each option. Without these, there is a risk that some proposed changes could in fact reduce rather than increase benefits to the economy and

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

ON THE CHOICE BETWEEN THE STOCKING RATE AND TIME IN RANGE MANAGEMENT [PDF]
A long standing question in range management concerns the relative importance of the stocking rate versus the length of time during which animals graze a particular rangeland.

Efficacy of a two-ingredient fumigant on Richardson's ground squirrel [PDF]
, 1984 In July 1981, efficacy data were obtained on a new two-ingredient gas cartridge by field testing against Richardson's ground squirrels (Spermophilus richardsonii) in a sagebrush-rangeland pasture. The gas cartridge contained 97 g of a sodium nitrate (65%)
