Rangeland Biodiversityy of life on Earth, from genes to ecosystems, and include the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain that life. As in other ecosystems, biological communities in rangelands are influenced by a number of different abiotic and biotic drivers or “filters” at both broad and fine scales, and

Waterfowl and Wetland Birdsersheds are source drainage for some of the highest functioning extant wetlands. The Central and Pacific Flyways have significant overlap with available rangelands in western North America. Within these flyways, the importance of rangeland management has become increasingly recognized by those invol

Avian Predators in Rangelandsof sensitive prey species, long-standing human/wildlife conflicts, and the unique legal protections within this ecological group. In general, many avian predator species considered rangeland specialists have been declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, human sensitivity, and direct persecution

Mesocarnivores of Western RangelandsMesocarnivores are understudied relative to large carnivores but can have significant impacts on ecosystems and human dimensions. In this chapter, we review the current state ofknowledge about the biology, ecology, and human interactions of the mesocarnivores that occupy the rangelands of the centra
