Prioritizing seasonal habitats for comprehensive conservation of a partially migratory species
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 For conservation reserves to protect habitat to support viable populations, they must be effective in protecting all vital requirements; yet, it is unclear the extent that conservationists need to prioritize seasonal habitats when delineating reserves ...

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 A community-level approach to identify important brood habitats of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) may prove useful in guiding management actions because it acknowledges that important habitat components are not ecologically independent ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022 Water is a critical and limited resource, particularly in the arid West, but water availability is projected to decline even while demand increases due to growing human populations and increases in duration and severity of drought.

Age and sex identification from wings of sage‐grouse
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 We redefine and clarify procedures to classify sex and age (juveniles, yearlings, adults, and breeding‐age) of greater (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison sage‐grouse (C. minimus) from wings.

Movements of female Sage Grouse Centrocercus urophasianus during incubation recess [PDF]
Ibis, 2018 We combined GPS data‐loggers, VHF transmitters and DVR video‐monitoring to measure fine‐scale movement patterns during daily incubation recesses by female Sage Grouse Centrocercus urophasianus, a species with uniparental incubation that has experienced widespread population decline and distributional contraction.

Impacts of coyote removal on space use by greater sage-grouse
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are in decline across western North America. Identification of management strategies to enhance populations, such as predator management, may be needed to reduce further declines, but unintentional effects ...

A targeted annual warning system developed for the conservation of a sagebrush indicator species
Ecological Indicators, 2023 A fundamental goal of population ecologists is to identify drivers responsible for temporal variation in abundance. Understanding whether variation is associated with environmental stochasticity or anthropogenic disturbances, which are more amenable to ...

Territoriality and non-random mating in sage grouse, Centrocercus urophasianus
Animal Behaviour Monographs, 1973 Section I. Previous work has indicated that sage grouse Centrocercus wophasianus practice extreme polygyny (Simon 1940; Scott 1942; Patterson 1952; Lumsden 1968). The behavioural interactions that regulate this mating system have remained unclear, as the males' behaviour suggests both territoriality and dominance hierarchy. Section II.

Performing statistical population reconstruction using Program PopRecon 2.0
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Statistical population reconstruction develops an integrated likelihood model that incorporates age‐at‐harvest composition, harvest totals, hunter effort, and auxiliary data on survival, harvest, or abundance to model demographics of harvested ...
