Habitat loss from agricultural expansion is one of the leading causes of endangerment for terrestrial vertebrates. Restoration programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) were initiated in p

Early successional habitats are declining in eastern North America while at the same time remaining habitats are being invaded by a suite of nonnative shrub species. While the significance of these transitional habitats to breeding birds is well know

Plant species with wide distributions may differ in their population dynamics across their range, especially in contrasting habitats. Most tiller recruitment of perennial grasses occurs vegetatively from the belowground bud bank rather than from seed

Biologists often manage grassland habitat for ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) through provision of the grasses and forbs that support the invertebrates on which they forage. However, specific information pertaining to invertebrate prey se

Grasslands enrolled in conservation programs provide important habitat for nesting game birds and waterfowl, but conservation grasslands have been targeted as a source of biomass for bioenergy and this could impact nesting birds. We studied the effec

In tallgrass prairie restoration, dominance by competitive late succession prairie grasses may cause loss of species that are poor competitors. In a field experiment we tested whether disturbance could reverse this process for Liatris scariosa var. n

The exotic invasive wetland plant purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is often considered to have negative impacts on native plant and animal species, but this is debated. Clarifying its influence would provide insight into appropriate management

The ability of species to establish and persist in multiple habitats is of increasing importance given ecotone shifts following climate change. We examined a sedge (Carex blanda) that primarily occurs in woodlands in Kansas but is reported at low fre

Overgrazing, weed invasion and wildfire have resulted in the conversion of large areas of shrub steppe to exotic annual grassland in the western United States. This has been accompanied by reduced habitat for native plants and animals, and altered wa

To date, the diet of the pigmy short-horned lizard (Phrynosoma douglasii) is not known. We report the diet of the pigmy short-horned lizard to determine whether it shows a more generalized diet, similar to other short-horned lizards or a more special
