							<![CDATA[Every year, millions of baby birds leave the security of their nests, flying off into the uncertainty of the outside world. A single chick’s fledging takes just a moment, and all chicks in a nest typically fly off within an hour or two, so people, even dedicated birdwatchers, rarely witness it. The grassland ecosystem is home to a variety of ground-nesting birds. Small nests built into the thick grass are difficult to find. Predation typically occurs when a larger animal happens to find a nest and eats eggs or nestlings opportunistically. Image by Ribic et al (2018) via Smithsonian.com video. A team of researchers installed mini video cameras at 206 nests of 17 species of grassland birds in Canada and the northern United States to find out when and why birds fledge. They published their findings last week in The Auk: Ornithological Advances. Their analyses of the video footage suggested that chicks balance leaving the nest before a predator finds them with staying in the nest to take advantage of food provided by their parents. Researchers began employing video cameras to improve their ability to monitor bird nests some 20 years ago. They have learned that young birds in forest and shrub vegetation tend to fledge in the morning, that well-developed birds tend to fledge rather than wait for their smaller siblings, and that chicks in nests under greater predation risk typically fledge earlier in the day and over a shorter period than broods living safer nests. Nevertheless, scientists still&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2018/09/video-analysis-shows-baby-birds-avoid-predators-while-building-strength/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Mother Nature is the ultimate boss on the prairie — and the boss seems pretty agitated these days. Weather events are more frequent, more extreme, and harder to predict than they used to be. Fortunately, we know from experience that if we take care of the land, the land will take care of us. And to best care for the land, we can learn some lessons from Mother Nature and the generations that came before. Ranchers across the Great Plains in the United States take very seriously their responsibility to be good stewards of the land and realized generations ago that the way to survive any environmental calamity is to ranch in a sustainable way. After homesteaders plowed up millions of acres of native prairie in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drought came in the 1920s and 1930s, bringing the Dust Bowl — possibly the worst environmental disaster in modern history. In the 1930s, led by Big Hugh Bennett and the Soil Conservation Service (today the Natural Resources and Conservation Service), farmers and ranchers rallied to restore the land — work that continues today with support from groups such as World Wildlife Fund’s Sustainable Ranching Initiative. Good stewardship of our native grasslands is one of the best ways to survive the next weather event. Grasses are rooted in the ground, which enables the soil to absorb and retain more water. That, in turn, prevents sediment, fertilizer, pesticides, and other compounds in the soil from running off into nearby&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2018/09/common-ground-on-the-prairie-commentary/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Is the Wild West using the most up-to-date technology for managing wildlife and researching conservation issues? Kyran Kunkel, Lead Scientist at American Prairie Reserve and Affiliate Professor in the Wildlife Biology Program at the University of Montana, wants to ensure that it is. He spoke with WildTech about technologies he relies on for his work on the Reserve and those he has used previously in carnivore research, as well as new technologies he hopes to see for wildlife management and restoration of North America’s grassland ecosystems in the near future. American Prairie Reserve &#8211; North America&#8217;s &#8220;Serengeti&#8221;. Photo credit: American Prairie Reserve Throughout his career, Kunkel has investigated the movement and foraging patterns of a suite of carnivores, including grizzly bears, wolves, and mountain lions, in the American West. In the late 1990s, he began shifting his attention to helping create and restore American Prairie Reserve – North America’s most expansive wildlife reserve and restoration project, protecting native bison, swift foxes, and pronghorn, among its more iconic mammals. In helping to initiate the reintroduction of bison back onto the Reserve, located in northeastern Montana, Kunkel is ensuring the species is returned to a portion of its historic native range. We spoke to him about how his team has used technology to better understand the use of the prairie ecosystem by bison and other wildlife. WildTech: Which technologies have you used for reintroducing bison to the Reserve? Kyran Kunkel: We have GPS collars on bison. The collars are from Lotek.

We try to walk quietly on a path that&#8217;s barely lit by a waning moon and the night&#8217;s last stars, speaking in hushed whispers as we trip over sagebrush and pant in the thin air. It&#8217;s spring, and we‘re trekking across high prairie ranchland in northwest Colorado, headed for the state&#8217;s largest greater sage grouse lek, a communal mating ground. As our group nears the blind from which we&#8217;ll view them, we hear a staccato chorus. Dawn slowly illumines the landscape, and there they are: 167 male grouse dancing in a rye field at dawn to grab the attention of 15 females. They fan their starburst tails in an elaborate courtship display, resembling miniature brown, black and white peacocks. They strut and bob, and inflate their snowy chests into a massive cowl that drapes nearly to the ground. They gulp and fill air sacs with a gallon of air that they use to &#8220;sing&#8221; to the hens in a rhythmic series of pops, whistles, burbles and coos. Sagebrush covered in hoar frost. This brushy plant is the only food for greater sage grouse from late fall to early spring, allowing it to survive harsh High Plains winters; it relies on different sagebrush species year-round.

							<![CDATA[A cornfield stretches as far as the eye can see. Photo by Rhett A. Butler. Corn and soybean cultivation soared in the late 2000s, as U.S. agribusiness rushed to respond to federal legislation rewarding biofuels production. Debate since the institution of the program has centered on the question of whether biofuel crop expansions have come at the expense of plowed-under biodiverse grasslands and prairie ecosystems. A new study largely settles that argument. Researchers using detailed high resolution satellite imagery found that the loss of carbon-storing natural lands converted into carbon-emitting biofuel croplands is significant, says a paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The study is the first comprehensive analysis of U.S. land-use change between 2008 and 2012, the critical time period following the institution of the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, which generated America’s biofuel boom. Crops, including corn and soy commonly used for biofuels, expanded onto 7 million acres of new land in the U.S. between 2008 and 2012, replacing millions of acres of grasslands, according to University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers Tyler Lark, J. Meghan Salmon and Holly Gibbs. Grasslands host diverse species, ranging from bobolinks to the greater sage grouse and black-footed ferret. They also store large amounts of carbon in their soils, as a buffer against climate change. Yet, the researchers found nearly 80 percent of cropland expansion over the study’s four year period replaced grasslands, including 1.6 million acres of undisturbed natural grassland equivalent in area to the state of Delaware.

							<![CDATA[First female Dakota skipper reared at the Minnesota Zoo. Photo by: Erik Runquist/Minnesota Zoo. This fall, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service added two little-known prairie butterflies to the Endangered Species Act. One of the species, the Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek), may be down to only a few hundred individuals. The Dakota skipperling (Hesperia dacotae) is faring a little better, but both have lost the majority of their habitat in the past few hundred years and continue to decline. &#8220;Both [butterflies] have experienced significant regional and global declines in the last few decades, and they certainly must rank among the most endangered species on earth, especially the Poweshiek skipperling,&#8221; Erik Runquist with the Minnesota Zoo told mongabay.com. Runquist, who works with the zoo&#8217;s Prairie Butterfly Conservation Program, has been attempting to breed the species in captivity. The listing under the ESA, the U.S.&#8217;s most powerful form of protection for vanishing species, should help preserve remaining habitat for the two species. However, Runquist says the most powerful outcome of the decision may actually be publicity. &#8220;Charismatic megafauna usually grab the headlines, but we know next to nothing about most of the little creatures that are vital to ecosystem functions. Butterflies are better appreciated and known than most insects, but very few people know of Poweshiek skipperlings and Dakota skippers or of their stories,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Their recent disappearance from much of their already highly fragmented range, as well as the apparent coincident decline of many other prairie butterfly species, is a&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2015/01/two-vanishing-prairie-butterflies-added-to-the-endangered-species-act/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[In a large room that used to house aquatic mammals at the Minnesota Zoo, Erik Runquist holds up a vial and says, &#8220;Here are its eggs.&#8221; I peer inside and see small specks, pale with a dot of brown at the top; they look like a single grain of cous cous or quinoa. Runquist explains that the brown on the top is the head cap of the larva, a fact that becomes more clear under a microscope when you can see the encased larva squirm. I&#8217;m looking at the eggs of a Poweshiek skipperling, a species that is more imperiled than pandas, tigers, or bluewhales. Once superabundant, only several hundred Poweshiek skipperlings may survive on Earth today and the eggs I&#8217;m looking at are the only ones in captivity. In case you haven&#8217;t heard of it&#8212;and I hadn&#8217;t until I met with staff at the Minnesota zoo&#8212;the Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) is a butterfly, native to virgin tallgrass prairie of the Upper Midwest in the U.S. and just over the border in Manitoba, Canada. Various types of prairie, as the American temperate grasslands are known, once covered much of middle portion of North America from Texas in the south to the southern edge of the Canada&#8217;s boreal forest. But with arrival of hundreds of thousands of settlers, the ecosystem was entirely transformed in just a few decades: the invention of a special steel plow in 1837 led to the vast conversion of prairie to farmland.
