Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant

Home Range and Movements of Greater Sage-grouse in its Southern-most Distribution [PDF]
In Utah Greater sage-grouse (sage-grouse) habitat has been reduced to 50% of what is considered historical availability, due to habitat degradation and loss. We conducted a small study to determine the home range size, space use, and movement patterns of

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

Adult sage‐grouse numbers rise following raven removal or an increase in precipitation
Weather and lethal control of common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, ravens) can affect the nesting success of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), but implications of these effects in terms of the subsequent size of the breeding population ...
