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

Identifying Holes in the Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Umbrella. [PDF]
J Wildl Manage, 2018 ABSTRACTThe umbrella species concept, wherein multiple species are indirectly protected under the umbrella of a reserve created for one, is intended to enhance conservation efficiency. Although appealing in theory and common in practice, empirical tests of the concept have been scarce. We used a real‐world, semi‐protected reserve established to protect

Declining Populations of Greater Sage-Grouse: Where and Why
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2016 Scientists have been predicting the extinction of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) since 1916, and sage-grouse populations have declined relentlessly during the last century despite attempts to reverse the decline. In this review paper, we examined the scientific literature to evaluate hypotheses about why sage-grouse populations have ...

The effects of electric power lines on the breeding ecology of greater sage-grouse. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 Anthropogenic infrastructure can negatively affect wildlife through direct mortality and/or displacement behaviors. Some tetranoids (grouse spp.) species are particularly vulnerable to tall anthropogenic structures because they evolved in ecosystems void

Combined effects of energy development and disease on greater sage-grouse. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2013 Species of conservation concern are increasingly threatened by multiple, anthropogenic stressors which are outside their evolutionary experience. Greater sage-grouse are highly susceptible to the impacts of two such stressors: oil and gas (energy) development and West Nile virus (WNv).

Range‐wide patterns of greater sage‐grouse persistence
Diversity 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.

Impacts of Coyote Removal on Space Use by Greater Sage-Grouse
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2016 Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are in decline across western North America. Identification of management strategies to enhance populations, such as predator management, may be needed to reduce further declines, but unintentional effects associated with increased human activity should also be considered.

Influence of environmental change, harvest exposure, and human disturbance on population trends of greater sage-grouse. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Hunter harvest of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter "sage-grouse") has been regulated by wildlife agencies during most of the past century.

Songbird population trajectories diverge under simulations of conifer encroachment versus removal in a sagebrush ecosystem. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Woody plant encroachment into grasslands and shrublands is a global phenomenon that negatively impacts ecosystem services and wildlife populations. North American sagebrush ecosystems have experienced widespread degradation from encroaching conifers, leading to losses of sagebrush‐obligate wildlife.

Ecology of Greater Sage-Grouse Populations Inhabiting the Northewstern Wyoming Basin
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2016 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 diff er by region.
