Early post-fire plant establishment on a Mojave Desert burn
Fire has become more extensive in recent decades in southwestern United States arid lands. Burned areas pose management challenges and opportunities, and increasing our understanding of post-fire plant colonization may assist management decision-making. We examined plant communities, soils, and soil seed banks two years after the 2005 Loop Fire, located in a creosote-blackbrush community in Red...

متن کاملEffects of a Highway on Mojave Desert Rodent Populations
The present study was conducted from March 1979 through February 1980 near a divided, four-lane highway in a northern Mojave desert Larrea-AmbrosiaYucca community in southern Nevada. During 12,000 trap nights, 612 rodents of eight species were captured; of these, 387 were recaptured at least once. Analysis of recapture data indicated that some individuals of each species moved distances suffici...
متن کاملHabitat Selection by Juvenile Mojave Desert Tortoises
Growing pressure to develop public lands for renewable energy production places several protected species at increased risk of habitat loss. One example is the Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), a species often at the center of conflicts over public land development. For this species and others on public lands, a better understanding of their habitat needs can help minimize negative i...
متن کاملEvolutionary Hotspots in the Mojave Desert
Genetic diversity within species provides the raw material for adaptation and evolution. Just as regions of high species diversity are conservation targets, identifying regions containing high genetic diversity and divergence within and among populations may be important to protect future evolutionary potential. When multiple co-distributed species show spatial overlap in high genetic diversity...
