Comparison of 2 vegetation height methods for assessing greater sage‐grouse seasonal habitat

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
The 2015 Sage‐Grouse Habitat Assessment Framework (HAF) was developed to evaluate habitat quality for sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.), with the greater sage‐grouse (C.

Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant

Identifying climate‐change refugia for species management and conservation in the Pacific Northwest

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The impacts of climate change are already affecting many species and habitats, presenting challenges for species management and conservation. Protecting climate refugia—areas buffered from climate shifts where species can persist despite broader changes—has been proposed as a tool for managing species under climate change.

Landscape features and seasonal habitat predict lek site selection and lek size of a Tympanuchus grouse

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The lek hotspot hypothesis predicts that leks will form in areas where males are more likely to encounter females, providing wildlife managers with a framework supporting the use of leks as the focus for prairie and shrubland grouse conservation and monitoring.

Using DNA from hairs left at depredated greater sage‐grouse nests to detect mammalian nest predators

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Despite a multitude of studies on sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.), there is still sparse information on the predator communities that influence sage‐grouse productivity and how these predator communities may change when sagebrush habitats are altered by ...

Comparison of methods for estimating wild turkey poult survival

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Wild turkey poult survival is a challenging metric to measure in wild turkey reproduction, and interpreting this information can have significant implications for managers at the population scale. Flushing wild turkey broods and radio‐tagging poults produced similar estimates of poult survival over a 56‐day monitoring period post‐hatching. Both methods

Characterizing the gastrointestinal microbiome of endangered greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in a conservation program

, 2023
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are a critically endangered species in Canada with fewer than 140 individuals remaining on native habitats in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo has initiated North America’s only zoo-based conservation breeding program for this species to bolster declining wild ...

Evaluation of population monitoring strategies for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in northwestern Colorado

, 2017
Population monitoring programs are essential for the proper management of wildlife species but, despite recent advances in methodologies, generating accurate and defensible estimates of population size and trend remains a key challenge for wildlife biologists and managers and effective monitoring programs generally require considerable resources ...

Trends in greater sage‐grouse lek counts relative to existing wind energy development in Wyoming

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Rapid increases in wind energy development globally highlight the need to evaluate how electricity generation may impact wildlife. The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) has experienced range‐wide population declines,
