Effects of wildfire on the distribution of mammals and birds in a working shrub‐steppe landscape
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract The intensity, frequency, and extent of wildfire have increased drastically in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecoregion within Washington, USA, over the last few decades. Wildfire on this landscape, already modified and fragmented by agriculture and other disturbances, may challenge the persistence of wildlife that depend on continuous ...

Reversing tree expansion in sagebrush steppe yields population‐level benefit for imperiled grouse
Ecosphere, 2021 Woody plant expansion into shrub and grasslands is a global and vexing ecological problem. In the Great Basin of North America, the expansion of pinyon–juniper (Pinus spp.–Juniperus spp.) woodlands is threatening the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) biome. The

Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.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 ...
