Visibility bias for sage-grouse lek counts
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Declining populations of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) necessitate accurate estimates of population trends. The most widespread approach to monitoring sage‐grouse populations involves counting males attending ...

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 ...

Comparison of in‐person and remote camera lek surveys for prairie grouse (Tympanuchus spp.)
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023 In‐person lek count surveys are commonly used for estimating population size and trends for prairie grouse. However, the emergence of noninvasive camera trap survey methods holds promise for more cost‐effective and precise estimates of lekking species ...

Local and population-level responses of Greater sage-grouse to oil and gas development and climatic variation in Wyoming [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Spatial scale is important when studying ecological processes. The Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a large sexually dimorphic tetraonid that is endemic to the sagebrush biome of western North America.

Assessment of lesser prairie‐chicken translocation through survival and lek surveys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023 Translocation is a management tool used to restore or augment wildlife populations, but outcomes of translocations are often poorly documented and can have varying levels of success for improving wildlife population declines.
