Montane Meadow Change during Drought Varies with Background Hydrologic Regime and Plant Functional Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Climate change models for many ecosystems predict more extreme climatic events in the future, including exacerbated drought conditions. Here we assess the effects of drought by quantifying temporal variation in community composition of a complex montane ...

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Alternative Future Vegetation Pathways Reveal Potential Transformations of Western US Ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
We used climate‐analog impact models (AIMs) to project changes in vegetation across the western United States under a mid‐21st century climate scenario, characterize ecological transformation vulnerability based on projection divergence, and demonstrate how AIMs can inform decision‐making.

Greater sage‐grouse habitat selection varies across the marginal habitat of its lagging range margin

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.

Reproduction partially compensates for human‐caused mortality in a cooperative breeder

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Reproductive output can vary widely among mammalian species. There are many drivers that affect reproductive output including evolutionary, environmental, population, social, and individual traits. Although several factors, including human‐caused mortality, can affect reproductive output, we generally have a poor understanding of how such ...

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

open access: yesSensors, 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.

MODELING ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF POST-FIRE REVEGETATION IN THE GREAT BASIN [PDF]

open access: yes
This study employs a Markov chain model of vegetation dynamics to examine the economic and ecological benefits of post-fire revegetation in the Great Basin sagebrush steppe.
