Participatory Research in Sage-grouse Local Working Groups: Case Studies from Utah
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Across the range of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse), collaborative groups focused on local-scale sage-grouse management, known as local working groups (LWGs), have been a core component of state-level efforts toward ...

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

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.

Efficacy of CPTH-Treated Egg Baits for Removing Ravens
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Human-altered landscapes have provided resource subsidies for common ravens (Corvus corax) resulting in a substantial increase in raven abundance and distribution throughout the United States and Canada in the past 25 years.

Pairing patterns and fitness in a free-ranging population of pinyon jays: What do they reveal about mate choice. [PDF]
, 1988 Pairing in 141 pairs of Pinyon Jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus ) was assortative for age, but was random for bill length and body weight. Assortative pairing for age may be favored because similar-aged partners produced slightly more young than ...

Greater sage‐grouse and fences: Does marking reduce collisions?
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Collision with infrastructure such as fences is widespread and common for many species of grouse. Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) fence‐collision has been documented and fence‐marking methods have been recommended for mitigating prairie ...

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 In Utah, greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) range has been reduced to 50% of what is considered historical availability due to habitat degradation and loss. In an effort to improve sage-grouse habitat in southern Utah,
