The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Tracking a Rangeland Fire With Infrasound Arrays
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract We present the first infrasound analyses of a rangeland fire and demonstrate infrasound's potential in monitoring wildland fires. We recorded a prescribed fire in sagebrush steppe in cool, moist conditions, using eight infrasound arrays of diverse size (3–44 sensors, 10–200 m width) and distance (0–20 km), including four arrays inside the burn

Ecosphere, 2016 In sagebrush steppe, snowpack may govern soil respiration through its effect on multiple abiotic and biotic factors. Across the Intermountain West of the United States, snowpack has been declining for decades and is projected to decline further over the ...

Ecology and Society, 2013 Building models is an important way of integrating knowledge. Testing and updating models of social-ecological systems can inform management decisions and, ultimately, improve resilience. We report on the outcomes of a six-year, multidisciplinary model

Trajectories and drivers of compositional and functional variation in sagebrush steppe restoration
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.Restoration success is often challenged by unpredictable and undesirable outcomes, especially in arid systems like the sagebrush steppe. In an 11‐year study in Grand Teton National Park, climatic conditions during establishment and local soil texture drove long‐term differences in plant community composition and functional traits.

Quantifying avian resilience to habitat change to support conservation decision‐making
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.Abstract Habitat loss and degradation are two of the main drivers of contemporary avian population declines. Wildlife managers are increasingly advocating for tools that provide decision support to set priorities for restoration or conservation efficiently.

Greater sage‐grouse habitat selection varies across the marginal habitat of its lagging range margin
Ecosphere, 2022 Studying wildlife–habitat relationships at the edges of their range can provide valuable insights into the environmental factors limiting wildlife distributions and most likely to drive extirpations and range shifts in response to landscape change.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).
