Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...

Fearscapes: Mapping Functional Properties of Cover for Prey with Terrestrial LiDAR [PDF]
, 2014 Heterogeneous vegetation structure can create a variable landscape of predation risk—a fearscape—that influences the use and selection of habitat by animals. Mapping the functional properties of vegetation that influence predation risk (e.g., concealment

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.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

The LUC Approach to Creating a Continental-Scale Land-Cover Database for Russia [PDF]
, 1995 Land cover is an essential surface characteristic of the Earth. Yet -- this may come as a surprise -- there is no generally accepted, complete and universal land-cover product for Russia, as is the problem in many other parts of the world.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.In rural areas, maintaining spaces between houses >500 m will likely facilitate ungulate movement. To fully conserve functional habitat, such as unimpeded habitat use along migration corridors, maintaining spaces approximately >2.5 km between houses will likely be necessary. Abstract Wildlife often lose access to habitat due to housing development. The
