Monday, March 21, 2022 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. PDT / 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. MDT Native grasslands require periodic disturbance to maintain ecological integrity. Typical disturbances are from fire and grazing, both of which have been removed or suppressed from many grasslands, particularly near cities. Grasslands are resilient to fire and normally do […]
Northern bobwhite quail and many other grassland bird species have experienced significant population declines over the last several decades. Loss of native grassland habitat is one of the primary causes of these declines. The CP33 – Habitat Buffers for Upland Birds is a Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) practice that provides nesting and brooding habitat […]
As anthropogenic noise becomes more prevalent across habitats, its impacts on wildlife remain difficult to assess. To disentangle effects of industrial noise from confounding factors (i.e. well presence, human activity, roads), we developed a high-fidelity solar-powered broadcasting system to reproduce sound from wells in sites without wells. We are comparing these “noisy” sites with sites […]
