Plague bacterium as a transformer species in prairie dogs and the grasslands of western North America Plague bacterium as a transformer species in prairie dogs and the grasslands of western North America
Invasive transformer species change the character, condition, form, or nature of ecosystems and deserve considerable attention from conservation scientists. We applied the transformer species concept to the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis in western North America, where the pathogen was introduced around 1900. Y. pestis transforms grassland ecosystems by severely depleting the abundance...

Nighttime aboveground movements by prairie dogs on colonies inhabited by black-footed ferrets Nighttime aboveground movements by prairie dogs on colonies inhabited by black-footed ferrets
We describe observations of black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) emerging aboveground at night, apparently in response to wild-born and captive-born black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) in South Dakota and New Mexico, respectively. We also discuss other similar observations accumulated on black-tailed prairie dog colonies as well as observations of white-tailed prairie...
