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.

An Observation of Clostridium perfringens in Greater Sage-Grouse [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007 Mortality due to infectious diseases is seldom reported in the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). A case of necrotic enteritis associated with Clostridium perfringens type A is described in a free-ranging adult male sage-grouse in eastern Oregon.

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 ...

Maladaptive nest‐site selection and reduced nest survival in female sage‐grouse following wildfire
Ecosphere, 2022 Increased wildfire frequency and associated replacement of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) with invasive annual grasses contribute to declines of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) populations across the Great Basin ...

Greater Sage-Grouse National Research Strategy [PDF]
Scientific Investigations Report, 2013 The condition of the sagebrush ecosystem has been declining in the Western United States, and greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a sagebrush-obligate species, has experienced concurrent decreases in distribution and population numbers.

Comparison of Conservation Policy Benefits for an Umbrella and Related Sagebrush-Obligate Species
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2020 Many conservation strategies promote the potential of multiple species benefitting from protection of large areas necessary for the continued viability of 1 species.

Participatory Research in Sage-grouse Local Working Groups: Case Studies from Utah
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Across the range of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse), collaborative groups focused on local-scale sage-grouse management, known as local working groups (LWGs), have been a core component of state-level efforts toward ...
