Different Data for Different Goals: Exploring Trade-Offs and Synergies in the Use of Spatial Data Inputs to Optimize Conservation Action in Sagebrush Ecosystems. [PDF]
Management actions to conserve and restore functional habitats are needed to reduce habitat loss and species declines, but funding and resources for such actions are limited. The Prioritizing Restoration of Sagebrush Ecosystems Tool (PReSET) supports strategic ecosystem management planning across the sagebrush biome by using spatial conservation ...

Phytochemistry Predicts Habitat Selection by an Avian Herbivore at Multiple Spatial Scales [PDF]
Animal habitat selection is a process that functions at multiple, hierarchically structured spatial scales. Thus multi-scale analyses should be the basis for inferences about factors driving the habitat selection process.

Directional acoustic radiation in the strut display of male sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus [PDF]
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 ...

Mitigation Effectiveness for Improving Nesting Success of Greater Sage-Grouse Influenced by Energy Development [PDF]
Sagebrush Artemisia spp. habitats being developed for oil and gas reserves are inhabited by sagebrush obligate species--including the greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus (sage-grouse) that is currently being considered for protection under the ...

Effects of wind energy development on survival of female greater prairie-chickens [PDF]
The potential effects of wind energy development on wildlife have received increased attention over the past decade. In Kansas, optimal sites for wind energy development often overlap with preferred habitats of greater prairie-chickens Tympanuchus cupido.

Greater Sage-Grouse Select Nest Sites to Avoid Visual Predators but Not Olfactory Predators [PDF]
Birds can hide from visual predators by locating nests where there is cover and from olfactory predators where habitat features create updrafts, high winds, and atmospheric turbulence, but sites optimal for hiding from visual and olfactory predators ...

Nonnative Ungulate Impacts on Greater Sage-grouse Late Brood-rearing Habitat in the Great Basin, USA [PDF]
Domestic livestock grazing is the dominant land use on much of the current range inhabited by greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) in the western United States.

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)
Courtship 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 ...
