Pyrosilviculture needed for landscape resilience of dry western United States forests
A significant increase in treatment pace and scale is needed to restore dry western US forest
resilience owing to increasingly frequent and severe wildfire and drought. We propose a …

Megafire causes persistent loss of an old‐forest species
Climate change and a long legacy of fire suppression are leading to an increased
prevalence of 'mega‐disturbances' such as drought and wildfire in terrestrial ecosystems …

California spotted owl habitat selection in a fire-managed landscape suggests conservation benefit of restoring historical fire regimes
Wildland fire is a disturbance that shapes frequent-fire forest ecosystems and the life-
histories of wildlife species that inhabit them. The California spotted owl (Strix occidentalis …

Forest heterogeneity outweighs movement costs by enhancing hunting success and reproductive output in California spotted owls
Context The concept of landscape heterogeneity is central to species conservation; yet
understanding the processes by which heterogeneity affects species can be challenging in …

Development of a non-invasive method for species and sex identification of rare forest carnivores using footprint identification technology
Many wildlife species have sex specific habitat requirements. Due to the unique
requirements for birthing and raising offspring, female reproductive habitat is often a limiting …

Noisy neighbors and reticent residents: Distinguishing resident from non-resident individuals to improve passive acoustic monitoring
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an increasingly common method for studying
populations of vocally active species. However, the detection of individuals not resident to a …
