Response of a small population of greater sage-grouse to tree removal: implications of limiting factors

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
In Utah, greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) range has been reduced to 50% of what is considered historical availability due to habitat degradation and loss. In an effort to improve sage-grouse habitat in southern Utah,

Common Ravens Disrupt Greater Sage-grouse Lekking Behavior in the Great Basin, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Expansion of human enterprise has contributed to increased abundance and distribution of common ravens (Corvus corax; ravens) across sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems within western North America. Ravens are highly effective nest predators of greater

Ecology of greater sage-grouse populations inhabiting the northwestern Wyoming Basin

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
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

Potential for post‐fire recovery of Greater Sage‐grouse habitat [PDF]

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
AbstractIn the western United States, fire has become a significant concern in the management of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems. This is due to large‐scale increases in cover of the fire‐prone invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and, concurrently, concerns about declining quantity and quality of habitat for Greater ...
