Spatial heterogeneity in response of male greater sage-grouse lek attendance to energy development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Landscape modification due to rapidly expanding energy development, in particular oil and gas, in the westernUSA, have prompted concerns over how such developments may impact wildlife.

Comparison between lek counts and bioacoustic recording for monitoring Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus L.) [PDF]
Journal of Ornithology, 2019 Bioacoustics is the study of animal sounds. The importance of bioacoustics for biological research and the survey and monitoring of bird populations is becoming increasingly recognized. This is particularly the case for the capture of long-term data on rare species that are prone to disturbance or are otherwise difficult to survey.

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.

Efficacy of two Variations on an Aerial Lek-Count Method for Greater Sage-Grouse
Western North American Naturalist, 2009 Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of concern, and accurate population data are needed to monitor conservation management efforts. Conventional, ground-based lek counts are labor-intensive, expensive, and have several sources of potential error and bias, including the practical limits on number and distribution of leks counted.

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020 Monitoring population response to conservation actions, such as habitat management, is critical to evaluate conservation outcomes. Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) has been the recipient of substantial recent conservation efforts in North ...

Adult sage‐grouse numbers rise following raven removal or an increase in precipitation
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Weather and lethal control of common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, ravens) can affect the nesting success of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), but implications of these effects in terms of the subsequent size of the breeding population ...

Ecosphere, 2016 Species conservation efforts often use short‐term studies that fail to identify the vital rates that contribute most to population growth. Although the greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is a candidate for protection under the U.

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 ...

Wildlife Biology, 2023 The population size of capercaille Tetrao urogallus in Scotland was estimated from annual counts of males at 151 known spring lek sites and 45 counts of males, females and their broods in August during the period 2010–2020, combined with published survival estimates.

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.
