The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Assessing the Environmental, Economic and Social Impacts of a Greenhouse Gas Emission Tax in Swiss Agriculture

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 1144-1165, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture accounts for about one fifth of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making mitigation a key policy priority. Although policymakers are increasingly considering market‐based approaches such as taxes, their broader impacts remain insufficiently assessed.

Primary nesting season designations on Conservation Reserve Program lands: Grassland bird breeding phenology and stakeholder perspectives

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Primary nesting season (PNS) dates under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) span the peak breeding of most grassland bird species, but some initiate breeding before and some continue after PNS, including species of conservation concern. Stakeholders disagree on PNS suitability, but agree that CRP “manages for the most”‐ a compromise between bird ...

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

Decadal effects of fuel treatments and annual grass invasion on sagebrush ecosystem carbon stocks

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fuel treatments are implemented across large spatial scales in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems of the US Intermountain West to limit wildfire risk and spread, but treatment effects on ecosystem carbon storage remain poorly understood. Fuel treatments can reduce aboveground carbon storage and may also influence belowground carbon storage ...

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Trends in greater sage‐grouse lek counts relative to existing wind energy development in Wyoming

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin
Rapid increases in wind energy development globally highlight the need to evaluate how electricity generation may impact wildlife. The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) has experienced range‐wide population declines,

A mobile tool for capturing greater sage‐grouse

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Capturing greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) using standard approaches can be challenging and inefficient, particularly in areas with relatively small populations and patchy habitat.

Winter habitat use by juvenile greater sage-grouse on Parker Mountain, Utah: implications for sagebrush management

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) are entirely dependent on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) for food and cover during winter.
