Greater sage‐grouse dynamics are influenced by winter temperature rather than indices of grazing, drought, and breeding season weather in a northern Great Plains population

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated the impacts of grazing, climatic variability, and vegetation productivity on the population dynamics of a northern Great Plains greater sage‐grouse population. We found winter temperature influenced annual population growth rates, but did not detect influences of drought, breeding season weather, vegetation productivity or short‐term ...

Extracting Plant Phenology Metrics in a Great Basin Watershed: Methods and Considerations for Quantifying Phenophases in a Cold Desert

Sensors, 2016
Plant phenology is recognized as important for ecological dynamics. There has been a recent advent of phenology and camera networks worldwide. The established PhenoCam Network has sites in the United States, including the western states.

A matter of timing: sagebrush steppe restoration seeding outcomes altered by species responses to warmer spring temperatures and interannual weather variation

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
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, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
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.

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
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 ...

HABITAT PREFERENCE OF CHILOPODA AND DIPLOPODA OF THE FAUNA OF THE CENTRAL CISCAUCASIA

Наука. Инновации. Технологии, 2022
Central Ciscaucasia is experiencing significant anthropogenic loads from the XIX century. About 90% of the territory of the Stavropol Territory is used for agricultural needs, which has a significant impact on the inhabitants of the soil.
