Survival of juvenile greater sage‐grouse in Wyoming

Wildlife Biology
An understanding of vital rate contributions to population growth is necessary for species of conservation concern, such as greater sage‐grouse Centrocercus urophasianus . Sage‐grouse demographic rates are generally well described; however, a notable exception is juvenile survival during the ...

Sagebrush, Greater Sage-Grouse, and the Occurrence and Importance of Forbs

Western North American Naturalist, 2016
Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems provide habitat for sagebrush-obligate wildlife species such as the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). The understory of big sagebrush plant communities is composed of grasses and forbs that are important sources of cover and food for wildlife.

Measuring the effectiveness of conservation: a novel framework to quantify the benefits of sage-grouse conservation policy and easements in Wyoming. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Increasing energy and housing demands are impacting wildlife populations throughout western North America. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species known for its sensitivity to landscape-scale disturbance, inhabits the same low ...

Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Carbon and water dynamics of Old World bluestem in the U.S. Southern Great Plains

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Forage production in the Southern Great Plains of the United States relies heavily on Old World bluestem (OWB, Bothriochloa spp.). This study analyzed 4 years (2021–2024) of continuous eddy covariance measurements in a managed OWB pasture in central Oklahoma, spanning both drought and wet periods.

Male greater sage‐grouse movements among leks

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2017
ABSTRACTMovements among leks by breeding birds (i.e., interlek movements) could affect the population's genetic flow, complicate use of lek counts as a population index, and indicate a change in breeding behavior following a disturbance. We used a Bayesian multi‐state mark‐recapture model to assess the daily probability of male greater sage‐grouse ...

Space between houses influences movement and habitat selection of ungulates: Width as a novel metric of development

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
In rural areas, maintaining spaces between houses >500 m will likely facilitate ungulate movement. To fully conserve functional habitat, such as unimpeded habitat use along migration corridors, maintaining spaces approximately >2.5 km between houses will likely be necessary. Abstract Wildlife often lose access to habitat due to housing development. The

Microhabitat Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Hens During Brood Rearing

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined throughout the western United States over the past century. Loss of large stands of sagebrush is a major factor leading to the decline of sage-grouse populations.

Preservation Strategies for Camel Meat: Quality Improvement and Shelf‐Life Extension

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Camel meat, a crucial protein source in arid regions, faces challenges like high moisture content and susceptibility to spoilage, limiting its shelf life. Traditional methods such as salting, drying, and smoking have been used historically, while modern techniques like refrigeration, freezing, and vacuum packaging enhance quality and safety.
