Mitigation effectiveness for improving nesting success of greater sage-grouse influenced by energy development. [PDF]
Wildlife Biol, 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 ...

Spatially explicit models of seasonal habitat for greater sage‐grouse at broad spatial scales: Informing areas for management in Nevada and northeastern California [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Defining boundaries of species' habitat across broad spatial scales is often necessary for management decisions, and yet challenging for species that demonstrate differential variation in seasonal habitat use.

Wyoming Sage-Grouse Working Groups: Lessons Learned [PDF]
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) has been the subject of multiple status reviews under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Wyoming accounts for approximately 38% of the range-wide population.

Experimental chronic noise is related to elevated fecal corticosteroid metabolites in lekking male greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2012 There is increasing evidence that individuals in many species avoid areas exposed to chronic anthropogenic noise, but the impact of noise on those who remain in these habitats is unclear.

The effects of electric power lines on the breeding ecology of greater sage-grouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Anthropogenic infrastructure can negatively affect wildlife through direct mortality and/or displacement behaviors. Some tetranoids (grouse spp.) species are particularly vulnerable to tall anthropogenic structures because they evolved in ecosystems void

Phenology largely explains taller grass at successful nests in greater sage‐grouse [PDF]
Ecology 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 ...

Predator‐specific mortality of sage‐grouse nests based on predator DNA on eggshells [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGreater sage‐grouse (hereafter sage‐grouse; Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their range. Increased nest predation as a result of anthropogenic land use is one mechanism proposed to explain these declines.
