A flexible approach for assessing functional landscape connectivity, with application to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Connectivity of animal populations is an increasingly prominent concern in fragmented landscapes, yet existing methodological and conceptual approaches implicitly assume the presence of, or need for, discrete corridors.

Experimental chronic noise is related to elevated fecal corticosteroid metabolites in lekking male greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 There is increasing evidence that individuals in many species avoid areas exposed to chronic anthropogenic noise, but the impact of noise on those who remain in these habitats is unclear.

Seasonal Habitat Use by Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) on a Landscape with Low Density Oil and Gas Development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Fragmentation of the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem has led to concern about a variety of sagebrush obligates including the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus).

A Bayesian multi‐stage modelling framework to evaluate impacts of energy development on wildlife populations: an application to greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) [PDF]
MethodsX, 2023 Increased demand for domestic production of renewable energy has led to expansion of energy infrastructure across western North America. Much of the western U.S.

Wildfire immediately reduces nest and adult survival of greater sage-grouse [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Wildfire events are becoming more frequent and severe on a global scale. Rising temperatures, prolonged drought, and the presence of pyrophytic invasive grasses are contributing to the degradation of native vegetation communities.

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage-grouse). [PDF]
J AnatCourtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

A comprehensive inventory of communication tower infrastructure across the range of greater and Gunnison sage-grouse [PDF]
Scientific DataWe compiled and verified a comprehensive inventory dataset of communication tower infrastructure across the range of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus), two species of conservation concern ...

The ties that bind the sagebrush biome: integrating genetic connectivity into range-wide conservation of greater sage-grouse [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Conserving genetic connectivity is fundamental to species persistence, yet rarely is made actionable into spatial planning for imperilled species.

Backpack satellite transmitters reduce survival but not nesting propensity or success of greater sage‐grouse [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Telemetry technology is ubiquitous for studying the behavior and demography of wildlife, including the use of traditional very high frequency (VHF) radio telemetry and more recent methods that record animal locations using global positioning systems (GPS)

Predator‐specific mortality of sage‐grouse nests based on predator DNA on eggshells [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGreater sage‐grouse (hereafter sage‐grouse; Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their range. Increased nest predation as a result of anthropogenic land use is one mechanism proposed to explain these declines.
