Development of optimized methods for unbiased dusky grouse population monitoring using real and simulated data

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rigorous state‐wide monitoring programs are lacking for dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus, a North American species of forest grouse with relatively low detectability that is found in coniferous and mountainous areas in the western United States and Canada.

Is Habitat Use by Greater Sage-Grouse Proportional to Availability of Plant Morphotypes? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) select sagebrush plants for food that are high in protein. However, sagebrush produce toxins called monoterpenes that can inhibit enzymatic reactions and interrupt cellular processes

Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

Mapping sage‐grouse fence‐collision risk: Spatially explicit models for targeting conservation implementation

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Recent research suggested greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) fence collision may be widespread, and fence‐marking methods have been developed for reducing prairie‐grouse collision in sagebrush‐steppe habitats. However,

Better living through conifer removal: A demographic analysis of sage-grouse vital rates. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) obligate wildlife species such as the imperiled greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) face numerous threats including altered ecosystem processes that have led to conifer expansion into shrub-steppe.

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Factors affecting greater sage-grouse habitat use in Utah\u27s West Desert [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Two species of sage-grouse occur within the western United States, the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and the Gunnison sage-grouse (C. minimus). The Gunnison sage-grouse is a candidate species for listing under the Endangered Species Act.

Wyoming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Management of greater sage-grouse populations continues to be a major issue for Wyoming and other western states. On June 2, 2011, Wyoming\u27s Governor Matt Mead issued an Executive Order addressing Greater Sage-Grouse Core Area Protection.

A Comprehensive Review on the Significance of Antioxidants and Their Influence on Biopolymer Packaging Films: Recent Advances and Challenges

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Influence of antioxidants‐loaded biopolymer films on food security and extended shelf life. ABSTRACT Autooxidation is a significant cause of quality deterioration in food systems, leading to nutrient loss, off‐flavor formation, textural changes, and overall spoilage.
