Influence of environmental change, harvest exposure, and human disturbance on population trends of greater sage-grouse.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Hunter harvest of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter "sage-grouse") has been regulated by wildlife agencies during most of the past century.

Mapping oil and gas development potential in the US Intermountain West and estimating impacts to species. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Many studies have quantified the indirect effect of hydrocarbon-based economies on climate change and biodiversity, concluding that a significant proportion of species will be threatened with extinction.

Reversing tree expansion in sagebrush steppe yields population‐level benefit for imperiled grouse

open access: yesEcosphere, 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

Predicted lek counts (mean males/lek) during 1995–2013 from top open population N-mixture models using empirical Bayes methods.

open access: yes, 2021
Annual predictions were stratified by regulation history and sage-grouse Management Zone (MZ). Light gray indicates human harvest occurred but no harvest exposure effect was detected, medium gray indicates that a harvest exposure variable was influential

Comparison of Conservation Policy Benefits for an Umbrella and Related Sagebrush-Obligate Species

open access: yesHuman-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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Inter-seasonal movements in tri-state greater sage-grouse: implications for state-centric conservation plans

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) designated greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) as a candidate species to receive protection under the Endangered Species Act in 2010.

A generalized integrated population model to estimate greater sage‐grouse population dynamics

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
For species of conservation concern, assessing population dynamics consistently across different populations is of paramount importance to effective conservation and restoration planning.

Oil and Gas Impacts on Wyoming’s Sagegrouse: Summarizing the Past and Predicting the Foreseeable Future

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Historical impacts from oil and gas development to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat are well-documented in some areas of Wyoming, in particular within natural gas development fields, such as the Powder River Basin and JonahPinedale.

Is scuba sampling a relevant method to study microhabitat in lakes? Examples and comparisons for three European species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We compared fish microhabitat use patterns in the littoral zone of a lake using a new direct method (i.e. Point Abundance Sampling by Scuba, PASS) and the widely used Point Abundance Sampling by Electrofishing technique (PASE).
