Influence of environmental change, harvest exposure, and human disturbance on population trends of greater sage-grouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Hunter harvest of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter "sage-grouse") has been regulated by wildlife agencies during most of the past century.

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.

Spatial heterogeneity in response of male greater sage-grouse lek attendance to energy development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Landscape modification due to rapidly expanding energy development, in particular oil and gas, in the westernUSA, have prompted concerns over how such developments may impact wildlife.

Seasonal Habitat Use by Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) on a Landscape with Low Density Oil and Gas Development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Fragmentation of the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem has led to concern about a variety of sagebrush obligates including the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus).

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.

Isotopic analysis reveals landscape patterns in the diet of a subsidized predator, the common raven
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021 Anthropogenic subsidies to native predators can have cascading effects on sensitive prey populations, but the spatial mechanisms behind these effects are often unknown.

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

PLoS ONE, 2021 Hunter harvest is a potential factor contributing to population declines of sage-grouse (Centrocercus spp.). As a result, wildlife agencies throughout western North America have set increasingly more conservative harvest regulations over the past 25 ...
