Community analysis of the Wyoming big sagebrush alliance and functional role of Wyoming big sagebrush [PDF]
This study consisted of two research projects in the Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis (Beetle & A. Young) S.L. Welsh) alliance, the most extensive of the big sagebrush complex in the Intermountain West.

Does Experience With Sagebrush in Utero and Early in Life Influence Use of Sagebrush by sheep? [PDF]
, 2018 Learning from mother begins early in the developmental process and can have lifelong effects when it comes to foraging behavior. Pregnancy is not just an incubation period but a starting point for animal well-being and disease later in life.

Does habitat reclamation following energy development benefit songbird nest survival?
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2021 Songbird communities that rely on sagebrush habitat for breeding are experiencing steep population declines, while a large amount of the sagebrush ecosystem continues to be impacted by energy development. Reclamation is increasingly emphasized as a means

Earlier fall precipitation and low severity fire impacts on cheatgrass and sagebrush establishment
Ecosphere, 2020 In arid and semiarid ecosystems, invasion by exotic grasses may be driving state changes in vegetation defined by losses of native shrub communities.

Spatial scale selection for informing species conservation in a changing landscape
Ecosphere, 2022 Identifying the relevant spatial scale at which species respond to features in a landscape (scale of effect) is a pressing research need as managers work to reduce biodiversity loss amid a variety of environmental challenges.

SCALING UP SAGEBRUSH CHEMISTRY WITH NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY AND UAS-ACQUIRED HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 Sagebrush ecosystems (Artemisia spp.) face many threats including large wildfires and conversion to invasive annuals, and thus are the focus of intense restoration efforts across the western United States. Specific attention has been given to restoration
