Male greater sage‐grouse detectability on leks

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2015
ABSTRACTIt is unlikely all male sage‐grouse are detected during lek counts, which could complicate the use of lek counts as an index to population abundance. Understanding factors that influence detection probabilities will allow managers to more accurately estimate the number of males present on leks. We fitted 410 males with global positioning system

Reptiles Under the Conservation Umbrella of the Greater Sage‐Grouse

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2020
ABSTRACTIn conservation paradigms, management actions for umbrella species also benefit co‐occurring species because of overlapping ranges and similar habitat associations. The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is an umbrella species because it occurs across vast sagebrush ecosystems of western North America and is the recipient of ...

Greater Sage-Grouse Response to Sagebrush Management in Utah

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2006
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations throughout much of their range have been declining. These declines have largely been attributed to the loss or deterioration of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitat. In response government agencies such as the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service are ...

Greater sage‐grouse vital rates after wildfire

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2018
ABSTRACTGreater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been subject to long‐term and continuing declines in population and habitat since European settlement of western North America. Increased wildfire activity constitutes a primary threat to the species in western portions of their range, with documented declines in wildfire‐affected populations.

INTERSPECIFIC NEST PARASITISM BY CHUKAR ON GREATER SAGE-GROUSE

Western Birds, 2014
Nest parasitism occurs when a female bird lays eggs in the nest of another and the host incubates the eggs and may provide some form of parental care for the offspring (Lyon and Eadie 1991). Precocial birds (e.g., Galliformes and Anseriformes) are typically facultative nest parasites of both their own and other species (Lyon and Eadie 1991).
