Two invasive Hieracium species’ potential distributions within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem were defined using invasion susceptibility models and habitat typing

Lead Toxicosis in Scavenging Species within the Southern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Elk migration patterns and human activity influence wolf habitat use in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Identifying the ecological dynamics underlying human-wildlife conflicts is important for the management and conservation of wildlife populations. In landscapes still occupied by large carnivores, many ungulate prey species migrate seasonally, yet little empirical research has explored the relationship between carnivore distribution and ungulate migration strategy. In this study, we evaluate the...

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: challenges for regional ecosystem management.

An adaptive management approach is necessary but not sufficient to address the long-term challenges of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). Adaptive management, in turn, has its own particular challenges, of which we focus on two: science input, and stakeholder engagement. In order to frame our discussion and subsequent recommendations, we place the current management difficulties into thei...

Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving: Next Steps in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a 7.6-million-hectare region in the Central Rocky Mountains of the United States, is used to illustrate both the challenges and means to improve problem solving in the natural resources arena. The challenges in this world-famous region are contextual (rapid change, growth, pluralism, complexity, state/federal conflicts, and lack of a common perspective), insti...
