Trends in greater sage‐grouse lek counts relative to existing wind energy development in Wyoming
Wildlife Society BulletinRapid increases in wind energy development globally highlight the need to evaluate how electricity generation may impact wildlife. The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) has experienced range‐wide population declines,

Analysis of Greater Sage-grouse Lek Data: Trends in Peak Male Counts 1965-2015 [PDF]
Trends in greater sage-grouse breeding populations are typically indexed by determining the peak number of males attending a lek in a lekking season. Numerous studies have estimated negative trends in sage-grouse breeding populations over time via data ...

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

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.

Seasonal movements of greater sage‐grouse populations in Utah: Implications for species conservation
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is considered an umbrella species for sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) landscapes in western North America. In 2015, the U.S.

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 ...

A generalized integrated population model to estimate greater sage‐grouse population dynamics
Ecosphere, 2016 For species of conservation concern, assessing population dynamics consistently across different populations is of paramount importance to effective conservation and restoration planning.
