Microhabitat Conditions in Wyoming's Sage-Grouse Core Areas: Effects on Nest Site Selection and Success. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The purpose of our study was to identify microhabitat characteristics of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) nest site selection and survival to determine the quality of sage-grouse habitat in 5 regions of central and southwest Wyoming ...

A mobile tool for capturing greater sage‐grouse
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Capturing greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) using standard approaches can be challenging and inefficient, particularly in areas with relatively small populations and patchy habitat.

Science to Solutions: Sage Grouse Need Intact Landscapes For Long- Distance Movement [PDF]
Two new studies revealed unknown long-distance dispersal and migration movements in sage grouse that offer fresh insights for conservation. Using DNA from feathers dropped at leks, scientists discovered that some grouse (about 1% of populations) travel ...

Greater sage‐grouse use of mechanical conifer reduction treatments in northwest utah
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 A potential consequence of climate change, altered fire regimes, and a legacy of resource exploitation in western North America is increased displacement of desirable sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) communities by invasive plant species.

Ecology of greater sage-grouse populations inhabiting the northwestern Wyoming Basin
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Range-wide population declines of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) have been largely attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. However, the specific conservation threats affecting the ecology of sage-grouse populations may

Seasonal movements of greater sage‐grouse populations in Utah: Implications for species conservation
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is considered an umbrella species for sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) landscapes in western North America. In 2015, the U.S.

A spatially explicit modeling framework to guide management of subsidized avian predator densities
Ecosphere, 2023 Anthropogenic resource subsidization across western ecosystems has contributed to widespread increases in generalist avian predators, including common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, raven).
