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.

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.

A Serosurvey of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Nevada, USA [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2017 To better understand the potential avian diseases in Greater Sage-grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ) in the Great Basin in Nevada, US, we collected 31 blood samples March-April 2014 and tested for antibodies to eight viruses and two bacteria. Specifically, sera were tested for antibodies to avian leukosis virus type A, B, and J (ALV-A, ALV-B, and ALV-

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.

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.

Precipitation timing mediates life-stage and population-level associations with climate for an indicator species [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGlobal climate change is contributing to declines in biodiversity, although changes vary across geographic regions and species. The iconic greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is central to conservation within the North American ...
