Using DNA from hairs left at depredated greater sage‐grouse nests to detect mammalian nest predators
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Despite a multitude of studies on sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.), there is still sparse information on the predator communities that influence sage‐grouse productivity and how these predator communities may change when sagebrush habitats are altered by ...

Pathogen and Rodenticide Exposure in American Badgers (Taxidea taxus) in California [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2012 Urban and agricultural land use may increase the risk of disease transmission among wildlife, domestic animals, and humans as we share ever-shrinking and fragmented habitat. American badgers (Taxidae taxus), a species of special concern in California, USA, live in proximity to urban development and often share habitat with livestock and small ...

Do artificial nests simulate nest success of greater sage-grouse?
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Artificial nests have been used to study factors affecting nest success because researchers can manipulate them more than natural bird nests. Many researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing the results from artificial nests onto naturally ...

When generalists behave as specialists: local specialization by American badgers (Taxidea taxus) [PDF]
, 2018 Differentiating species according to their relative niche breadth is a common approach in community ecology that can enhance understanding about how species relate to the environment.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 8, November 2026.Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

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 ...

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...
