Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

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.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We developed a web GIS system that delivers geospatial data for Wyoming and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) using cloud‐optimized formats and open‐source tools to support regional ecological research and management. Using pronghorn as an example, we combined observed locations with environmental covariates from our geospatial library to map ...
