Assessing the hydroregime of an archetypal riverine wet meadow in the central Great Plains using time‐lapse imagery

Ecosphere, 2021
Wet meadows are a declining and increasingly degraded ecosystem type. They contribute numerous ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, water storage, and filtration, and provision of wildlife habitat, particularly for wetland‐dependent species ...

Dataset of the physical conditions of Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) in riparian woodlands along the central Platte River

Data in Brief, 2018
The 2016 discovery of Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis; EAB) in Nebraska warranted an assessment of the physical conditions of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) across the state. Here we present a dataset of current physical conditions and spatial location

Balancing future renewable energy infrastructure siting and associated habitat loss for migrating whooping cranes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The expansion of human infrastructure has contributed to novel risks and disturbance regimes in most ecosystems, leading to considerable uncertainty about how species will respond to altered landscapes.

Egg production and endocrine profiles of female whooping cranes (Grus americana) maintained ex situ are improved in naturalized enclosures

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
Whooping cranes (Grus americana) are naturally seasonal breeders and rely on wetland habitats throughout the annual cycle. However, captive cranes are commonly housed in dry outdoor pens, which may lack key environmental stimuli that in turn compromise ...

Assessing ecological and environmental influences on boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) spring calling phenology using multimodal passive monitoring technologies

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Although anuran reproductive behavior follows a phenological pattern, environmental factors may influence the timing of anuran activity. To characterize the spring calling phenology of Pseudacris maculata (boreal chorus frog) we installed acoustic ...

Spatial and temporal predictions of whooping crane (Grus americana) habitat along the US Gulf Coast

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
The challenge of conserving viable habitat while simultaneously predicting how land cover may geographically shift with future climate change has put pressure on ecologists and policy‐makers to develop near‐term (several years to a decade) ecological and

Differential shortstopping behaviour in Whooping Cranes: Habitat or social learning?

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Many migratory bird species have begun shifting their wintering grounds closer to their breeding grounds, shortening their yearly migration distance through a behavior called shortstopping.
