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 ...

Maladaptive nest‐site selection and reduced nest survival in female sage‐grouse following wildfire

open access: yesEcosphere, 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 ...

Comparison of Conservation Policy Benefits for an Umbrella and Related Sagebrush-Obligate Species

open access: yesHuman-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.

An Observation of Clostridium perfringens in Greater Sage-Grouse [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Liver Metal Concentrations in Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008
Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are a species of concern due to shrinking populations associated with habitat fragmentation and loss. Baseline health parameters for this species are limited or lacking, especially with regard to tissue metal concentrations.

Participatory Research in Sage-grouse Local Working Groups: Case Studies from Utah

open access: yesHuman-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 ...
