Isotopic analysis reveals landscape patterns in the diet of a subsidized predator, the common raven

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
Anthropogenic subsidies to native predators can have cascading effects on sensitive prey populations, but the spatial mechanisms behind these effects are often unknown.

Maladaptive nest‐site selection and reduced nest survival in female sage‐grouse following wildfire

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Increased wildfire frequency and associated replacement of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) with invasive annual grasses contribute to declines of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) populations across the Great Basin ...

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.

Changes in hunting season regulations (1870s-2019) reduce harvest exposure on greater and Gunnison sage-grouse.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Spatial heterogeneity in response of male greater sage-grouse lek attendance to energy development. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Sensitivity to weather drives Great Basin mesic resources and Greater Sage-Grouse productivity

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Anticipating and mitigating the effects climate change will have on wildlife populations requires an improved understanding of the ways in which those populations are currently adapted to climate and how they are affected by variation in weather ...

Acute and lagged fitness consequences for a sagebrush obligate in a post mega‐wildfire landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Species responses to disturbance influence their extinction risks. Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are bioindicators of sagebrush ecosystem health and the loss of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) due to wildfire, can cause long‐term declines in

Ecology of greater sage-grouse populations inhabiting the northwestern Wyoming Basin

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Range-wide population declines of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) have been largely attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. However, the specific conservation threats affecting the ecology of sage-grouse populations may

Utilizing hunter harvest effort to survey for wildlife disease: A case study of West Nile virus in greater sage‐grouse

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) are highly susceptible to infection with West Nile virus (WNV), with substantial mortality reported in wild populations and in experimentally infected birds.

Spatially explicit models of seasonal habitat for greater sage‐grouse at broad spatial scales: Informing areas for management in Nevada and northeastern California

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Defining boundaries of species' habitat across broad spatial scales is often necessary for management decisions, and yet challenging for species that demonstrate differential variation in seasonal habitat use.
