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

Predator‐specific mortality of sage‐grouse nests based on predator DNA on eggshells [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGreater sage‐grouse (hereafter sage‐grouse; Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their range. Increased nest predation as a result of anthropogenic land use is one mechanism proposed to explain these declines.

Wildfire immediately reduces nest and adult survival of greater sage-grouse. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Wildfire events are becoming more frequent and severe on a global scale. Rising temperatures, prolonged drought, and the presence of pyrophytic invasive grasses are contributing to the degradation of native vegetation communities.

Greater sage-grouse respond positively to intensive post-fire restoration treatments. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Habitat loss is the most prevalent threat to biodiversity in North America. One of the most threatened landscapes in the United States is the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem, much of which has been fragmented or converted to non‐native grasslands ...

Changes in hunting season regulations (1870s-2019) reduce harvest exposure on greater and Gunnison sage-grouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Hunter harvest is a potential factor contributing to population declines of sage-grouse (Centrocercus spp.). As a result, wildlife agencies throughout western North America have set increasingly more conservative harvest regulations over the past 25 ...
