TL;DR: The thesis that wildlife research should use the H-D method to test research hypotheses, using the thresh- old-of-security hypothesis for winter mortality for illustration, and it is shown that persistent confusions about the definitions of concepts like carrying capacity, correlation and cause-and-effect stem from either inadequate or misused scientific methods.

TL;DR: Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) are unique because, in contrast to most western forest trees, they reproduce primarily by suckering from the parent root system as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In the United States, arid lands are located in the subtropical hot deserts of the Southwest, comprised of the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts, and the temperate cold desert of the Intermountain West.

TL;DR: Challenges and opportunities presented here are intended to heighten awareness of the wildfire issue and to further accelerate a mutually agreed upon, spatially explicit path forward, so that all partners can quickly engage in its implementation.
