Abstract: Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that explain why oil infrastructure has an effect on wildlife, and comparing effects of different types of infrastructure, is necessary for determining how we may minimize or mitigate those effects. We… read more here.

Abstract: Global analyses of bird communities along elevation gradients suggest that bird diversity on arid mountains is primarily limited by water availability, not temperature or altitude. However, the mechanism by which water availability, and subsequently primary… read more here.

Grassland songbird abundance is influenced more strongly by individual types of disturbances than cumulative disturbances associated with natural gas extraction

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0283224
Abstract: Grassland birds have undergone widespread global population declines due to loss and degradation of native grasslands. Activities associated with non-renewable energy derived from oil and natural gas extraction have substantially increased on grasslands. The cumulative… read more here.
