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).

Measuring Height Characteristics of Sagebrush (Artemisia sp.) Using Imagery Derived from Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) [PDF]
Drones, 2020 In situ measurements of sagebrush have traditionally been expensive and time consuming. Currently, improvements in small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) technology can be used to quantify sagebrush morphology and community structure with high resolution ...

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-

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.

Directional acoustic radiation in the strut display of male sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999 ABSTRACT We present evidence that the acoustic component of the strut display of male sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus is highly directional and that the nature of this directionality is unique among measured vertebrates. Where vertebrate acoustic signals have been found to be directional, they are most intense anteriorly and are ...

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)
