1.
Fogarty D, Beadle M, Allen C, Bielski C, Twidwell D
J Environ Manage . 2025 Jan; 374():124020. PMID: 39788049
An important question in restoration ecology is whether restored ecological regimes are more vulnerable to transitions back to a degraded state. In woody-invaded grasslands, high-intensity fire can collapse woody plant...

Fill C, Allen C, Benson J, Twidwell D
PLoS One . 2023 Jun; 18(6):e0286621. PMID: 37267398
In agroecosystems, bats can provide a critical ecosystem service by consuming night-flying insect pests. However, many bats also face intense population pressures from human landscape modification, global change and novel...

Donovan V, Fogarty D, Twidwell D
PLoS One . 2023 Apr; 18(4):e0283816. PMID: 37040377
Woody encroachment is one of the greatest threats to grasslands globally, depleting a suite of ecosystem services, including forage production and grassland biodiversity. Recent evidence also suggests that woody encroachment...

Kishawi Y, Mittelstet A, Gilmore T, Twidwell D, Roy T, Shrestha N
Sci Total Environ . 2022 Oct; 858(Pt 1):159696. PMID: 36302438
Worldwide, tree or shrub dominated woodlands have encroached into herbaceous dominated grasslands. While very few studies have evaluated the impact of Eastern Redcedar (redcedar) encroachment on the water budget, none...

Roberts C, Naugle D, Allred B, Donovan V, Fogarty D, Jones M, et al.
J Environ Manage . 2022 Oct; 324:116359. PMID: 36206652
Historically, relying on plot-level inventories impeded our ability to quantify large-scale change in plant biomass, a key indicator of conservation practice outcomes in rangeland systems. Recent technological advances enable assessment...

Brady M, Dickinson M, Miesel J, Wonkka C, Kavanagh K, Lodge A, et al.
Ecol Appl . 2022 Apr; 32(6):e2627. PMID: 35397482
Fire has transformative effects on soil biological, chemical, and physical properties in terrestrial ecosystems around the world. While methods for estimating fire characteristics and associated effects aboveground have progressed in...

Starns H, Wonkka C, Dickinson M, Lodge A, Treadwell M, Kavanagh K, et al.
J Environ Manage . 2021 Nov; 303:114141. PMID: 34838383
Rangelands worldwide have experienced significant shifts from grass-dominated to woody-plant dominated states over the past century. In North America, these shifts are largely driven by overgrazing and landscape-scale fire suppression....

Roberts C, Uden D, Cady S, Allred B, Fuhlendorf S, Jones M, et al.
Ecol Appl . 2021 Oct; 32(1):e02480. PMID: 34674399
In this era of global environmental change and rapid regime shifts, managing core areas that species require to survive and persist is a grand challenge for conservation. Wildlife monitoring data...

Cady S, Davis C, Fuhlendorf S, Scholtz R, Uden D, Twidwell D
Ecol Evol . 2021 Oct; 11(18):12714-12727. PMID: 34594533
Quantifying resource selection (an organism's disproportionate use of available resources) is essential to infer habitat requirements of a species, develop management recommendations, predict species responses to changing conditions, and improve...

Hiers Q, Treadwell M, Dickinson M, Kavanagh K, Lodge A, Starns H, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2021 Jun; 11(11):6620-6633. PMID: 34141245
Increasingly, land managers have attempted to use extreme prescribed fire as a method to address woody plant encroachment in savanna ecosystems. The effect that these fires have on herbaceous vegetation...
