Timing of Vegetation Sampling at Greater Sage-Grouse Nests [PDF]

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2005
Habitat management guidelines for greater sage-grouse, Centrocercus urophasianus, have been formulated, in part, based on studies of nest site selection. However, these guidelines may not represent conditions when the female initiates nesting because sampling occurs posthatch (> 30 days after nest initiation) to avoid disturbing incubating females ...

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

, 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

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

Factors affecting greater sage-grouse habitat use in Utah\u27s West Desert [PDF]

, 2006
Two species of sage-grouse occur within the western United States, the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and the Gunnison sage-grouse (C. minimus). The Gunnison sage-grouse is a candidate species for listing under the Endangered Species Act.

Greater Sage-Grouse Brood Responses to Livestock Grazing in Sagebrush Rangelands [PDF]

, 2022
The distribution and abundance of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) have declined in the last 60 years. Range contractions and population declines have been attributed to loss and fragmentation of their sagebrush (Artemisia

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

Probability of lek collapse is lower inside sage-grouse Core Areas: Effectiveness of conservation policy for a landscape species.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) occupy sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats in 11 western states and 2 Canadian provinces. In September 2015, the U.S.

Impacts of coyote removal on space use by greater sage-grouse

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
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 ...

Using eggshell membranes as a DNA source for population genetic research [PDF]

, 2009
In the context of population genetic research, a faster and less invasive method of DNA sampling would allow large-scale assessments of genetic diversity and genetic differentiation with the help of volunteer observers.

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.
