Phytochemistry Predicts Habitat Selection by an Avian Herbivore at Multiple Spatial Scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Occurrence and success of greater sage-grouse broods in relation to insect-vegetation community gradients

open access: yesHuman-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 ...

Moisture abundance and proximity mediate seasonal use of mesic areas and survival of greater sage‐grouse broods

open access: yesEcological 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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Resource selection by greater sage‐grouse varies by season and infrastructure type in a Colorado oil and gas field

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Energy development is one of the most rapidly increasing land uses in North America, so understanding how wildlife respond to different types of energy infrastructure is crucial for informing land‐use policies.

Mitigation Effectiveness for Improving Nesting Success of Greater Sage-Grouse Influenced by Energy Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Impacts of coyote removal on space use by greater sage-grouse

open access: yesHuman-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 ...

Effects of wind energy development on survival of female greater prairie-chickens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.

Performing statistical population reconstruction using Program PopRecon 2.0

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...
