Should heterogeneity be the basis for conservation? Grassland bird response to fire and grazing.
Samuel D. Fuhlendorf,Wade C. Harrell,David M. Engle,Robert G. Hamilton,Craig A. Davis,David M. Leslie +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increasing spatial and temporal heterogeneity of disturbance in grasslands increases variability in vegetation structure that results in greater variability at higher trophic levels, suggesting that management that creates a shifting mosaic using spatially and temporally discrete disturbances in Grasslands can be a useful tool in conservation.
Evaluation of habitat structural measures in a shrubland community
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate relationships between measures of habitat structure in a shrubland community and discuss the usefulness of several techniques in integrating multiple structural dimensions into a single index of habitat structures.
Effects of prescribed fire on sand shinnery oak communities.
TL;DR: Harrell et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the influence of fire on shrub composition and vegetation structure of sand shinnery oak communities, and determined the persistence of structural and compositional changes.
Balancing future renewable energy infrastructure siting and associated habitat loss for migrating whooping cranes
Kristen S. Ellis,Aaron T. Pearse,David A. Brandt,Mark T. Bidwell,Wade C. Harrell,Matthew J. Butler,Max Post van der Burg +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used GPS locations from 57 whooping cranes from 2010 through 2016 in the United States Great Plains to assess habitat selection and avoidance of potential disturbances during migration relative to drought conditions, and used these results in an optimization analysis to select potential sites for new wind energy developments that minimize relative habitat loss for whooping crane and maximize wind energy potential.
Spatial and temporal predictions of whooping crane (Grus americana) habitat along the US Gulf Coast
Katie E. Golden,Benjamin L. Hemingway,Amy E. Frazier,Rheinhardt Scholtz,Wade C. Harrell,Craig A. Davis,Samuel D. Fuhlendorf +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed a time series of ecological niche models to determine the biotic and abiotic factors correlated with crane presence and track how importance has changed over time, which can help facilitate winter range expansion to accommodate the growing population by identifying additional areas to protect that could be used by the current wild population or experimental populations.
