"The fields of rangeland and wildlife management are brothers in the same fight for the conservation, protection, and management of wildlife and one cannot be completely understood without knowledge of the other." --Paul Krausman. This quote from the foreword of a new edited volume on wildlife ecology highlights the integrated nature of rangeland science. Listen to Drs. Lance McNew and Jeff Beck describe what's in this Springer-published comprehensive guide to what we know about rangeland wildlife, from mice to mule deer, sparrows to sage grouse. Wildlife species require habitat, and habitat management requires broad understanding and thinking. Take a look at this book.

Hosted by Tip Hudson, The Art of Range digs into the complex and often overlooked world of rangelands. This isn't a theoretical discussion for a distant audience; it's a practical resource built for the people who are directly responsible for the stewardship of these vast landscapes. Each episode unfolds as a conversation, bringing together knowledge from science, lived experience, and on-the-ground management. You'll hear discussions that tackle real challenges, explore ecological principles, and consider the balance required for both productivity and conservation. The aim is always to inform and to foster a deeper understanding, moving beyond simple answers to the nuanced realities of managing land. By focusing on dialogue, this podcast creates a space where ideas can be exchanged and different perspectives can meet. Tune in for thoughtful explorations that connect the science of rangeland ecology with the daily decisions of those who care for it. If you're looking for a genuine and insightful take on land management, this is the podcast for you.
