A mobile tool for capturing greater sage‐grouse

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Seasonal movements of greater sage‐grouse populations in Utah: Implications for species conservation

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Range‐wide patterns of greater sage‐grouse persistence

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, 2008
ABSTRACT Aim   Greater sage‐grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ), a shrub‐steppe obligate species of western North America, currently occupies only half its historical range.

Phenology largely explains taller grass at successful nests in greater sage‐grouse [PDF]

open access: yesEcology 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]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Greater 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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Do greater sage‐grouse exhibit maladaptive habitat selection? [PDF]

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
AbstractMaladaptive habitat selection, where animals select habitat with reduced fitness potential or avoid otherwise suitable habitat, exacerbates the threat of population decline for species vulnerable from habitat loss and fragmentation. The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of conservation concern for which research has ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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

Changes in hunting season regulations (1870s-2019) reduce harvest exposure on greater and Gunnison sage-grouse.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...
