Fine‐Scale Factors Affecting the Abundance and Thermal Sensitivity of Nonnative Brook Trout in Coldwater Rocky Mountain Streams

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a globally distributed nonnative species that threatens native salmonids in coldwater streams. Understanding the factors regulating Brook Trout densities in coldwater refugia is critical to effective management, so we investigated (a) fine‐scale drivers of Brook Trout abundance and (b) factors ...

Identity and Seasonal Abundance of Beneficial Arthropods Associated with Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) in Central Washington State, USA

open access: yesInsects, 2018
Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) characterizes and dominates the sagebrush steppe, the largest temperate semi-desert ecosystem in North America. The beneficial arthropod fauna hosted by A.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Weather affects post‐fire recovery of sagebrush‐steppe communities and model transferability among sites

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Altered climate, including weather extremes, can cause major shifts in vegetative recovery after disturbances. Predictive models that can identify the separate and combined temporal effects of disturbance and weather on plant communities and that are ...

Revision of a state‐and‐transition model to include descriptions of state functional attributes

open access: yesEcosphere, 2018
Successful conservation of ecosystems and ecosystem services requires understanding the structural–functional relationships underlying resilience to disturbance pressures.

Proximity to wind turbines altered plant–pollinator dynamics in prairie and sagebrush ecosystems in Wyoming, USA

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
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 ...

Diversity Post-Wildfire of Vegitabel Understory in Rocky Mountain Ponderosa Pine Woodland and Montane Sagebrush Steppe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In Montana, big sagebrush steppe, montane sagebrush steppe and rocky mountain ponderosa pine woodland take up over 16% of Montana’s 380,832 km2 (16.45%). Studies have shown that habitats dominated by graminoids depend on species abundance and richness to

Spatiotemporal dynamics of insect pollinator communities in sagebrush steppe associated with weather and vegetation

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The conservation of native insect pollinators is hampered by a lack of information about environmental factors influencing pollinator communities. We investigated how insect pollinator communities, composed of bees (Hymenoptera), butterflies and moths ...

Understanding natal emigration in group‐living carnivores

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 2076-2087, October 2026.
Dispersal is a key ecological and evolutionary process, yet drivers of variation in emigration under human‐modified conditions remain understudied. Using a novel genetic approach applied to harvested grey wolves in Idaho, USA, we found that prey availability and population density shape natal emigration patterns in a cooperative breeder.
