Knowledge coproduction on the impact of decisions for waterbird habitat in a changing climateNARA Subscribed
Scientists, resource managers, and decision makers increasingly use knowledge coproduction to guide the stewardship of future landscapes under climate change. This process was applied in the California Central Valley (USA) to solve complex conservation problems, where managed wetlands and croplands are flooded between fall and spring to support some of the largest concentrations of shorebirds and waterfowl in the world. We cop...
Plant community response to loss of large herbivores differs between North American and South African savanna grasslandsNARA Subscribed
Herbivory and fire shape plant community structure in grass‐dominated ecosystems, but these disturbance regimes are being altered around the world. To assess the consequences of such alterations, we excluded large herbivores for seven years from mesic savanna grasslands sites burned at different frequencies in North America (Konza Prairie Biological Station, Kansas, USA) and South Africa (Kruger National Park). We hypothesized...
West Nile virus: pending crisis for greater sage‐grouseNARA Subscribed
Scientists have feared that emerging infectious diseases could complicate efforts to conserve rare and endangered species, but quantifying impacts has proven difficult until now. We report unexpected impacts of West Nile virus (WNv) on radio‐marked greater sage‐grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ), a species that has declined 45–80% and is endangered in Canada and under current consideration for federal listing in the US. We s...
