Acute and lagged fitness consequences for a sagebrush obligate in a post mega‐wildfire landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Species responses to disturbance influence their extinction risks. Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are bioindicators of sagebrush ecosystem health and the loss of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) due to wildfire, can cause long‐term declines in

Temporal mismatch in space use by a sagebrush obligate species after large‐scale wildfire

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
The increase in size and frequency of wildfires in sagebrush steppe ecosystems has significant impacts on sagebrush obligate species. We modeled seasonal habitat use by female greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in the Trout Creek Mountains ...

Surface-active arthropod community response to juniper removal and its implications for avian conservation in sagebrush ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Terrestrial arthropods are a critical component of sagebrush ecosystems and serve as a key food source for higher trophic levels, including many avian species of conservation concern.

Prioritizing seasonal habitats for comprehensive conservation of a partially migratory species

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
