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.

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.

Reversing tree expansion in sagebrush steppe yields population‐level benefit for imperiled grouse
Ecosphere, 2021 Woody plant expansion into shrub and grasslands is a global and vexing ecological problem. In the Great Basin of North America, the expansion of pinyon–juniper (Pinus spp.–Juniperus spp.) woodlands is threatening the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) biome. The

Evaluating the Potential of Aerial Infrared as a Lek Count Method for Prairie Grouse
Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, 2015 Abstract Wildlife biologists use counts of birds attending traditional breeding grounds (i.e., leks) to develop indices of population trends in several grouse species. Standardized lek counts for sage-grouse Centrocercus spp. provide information about population trends by allowing comparison of counts across their range.

Comparison of Conservation Policy Benefits for an Umbrella and Related Sagebrush-Obligate Species
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2020 Many conservation strategies promote the potential of multiple species benefitting from protection of large areas necessary for the continued viability of 1 species.
