Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The Threat Integration Model for Sagebrush (TIMS) combines multiple spatial decision support tools to provide a unified, actionable map of sagebrush ecosystem conditions across the western United States. TIMS improves upon existing tools by including multiple threats in the same map (invasive annual grass [IAG] and conifer encroachment), characterizing

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.
