Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Habitat in Central Montana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat was studied in central Montana primarily on Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle and Young) dominated rangeland.

Response of a small population of greater sage-grouse to tree removal: implications of limiting factors

open access: yesHuman-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,

Greater sage‐grouse and fences: Does marking reduce collisions?

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...

Threat Integration Model for Sagebrush (TIMS): A framework for using spatial decision support tools for strategic management of invasive annual grasses and conifers in sagebrush ecosystems

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The Threat Integration Model for Sagebrush (TIMS) combines multiple spatial decision support tools to provide a unified, actionable map of sagebrush ecosystem conditions across the western United States. TIMS improves upon existing tools by including multiple threats in the same map (invasive annual grass [IAG] and conifer encroachment), characterizing

Phenology largely explains taller grass at successful nests in greater sage‐grouse

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Much interest lies in the identification of manageable habitat variables that affect key vital rates for species of concern. For ground‐nesting birds, vegetation surrounding the nest may play an important role in mediating nest success by providing ...

Distinct microbiotas of anatomical gut regions display idiosyncratic seasonal variation in an avian folivore

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2019
Background Current knowledge about seasonal variation in the gut microbiota of vertebrates is limited to a few studies based on mammalian fecal samples. Seasonal changes in the microbiotas of functionally distinct gut regions remain unexplored.
