Phytochemistry Predicts Habitat Selection by an Avian Herbivore at Multiple Spatial Scales [PDF]

, 2013
Animal habitat selection is a process that functions at multiple, hierarchically structured spatial scales. Thus multi-scale analyses should be the basis for inferences about factors driving the habitat selection process.

Greater sage‐grouse use of mechanical conifer reduction treatments in northwest utah

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
A potential consequence of climate change, altered fire regimes, and a legacy of resource exploitation in western North America is increased displacement of desirable sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) communities by invasive plant species.

Declining populations of greater sage-grouse: where and why

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Scientists have been predicting the extinction of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) since 1916, and sage-grouse populations have declined relentlessly during the last century despite attempts to reverse the decline. In this review paper, we

Using spatial statistics and point‐pattern simulations to assess the spatial dependency between greater sage‐grouse and anthropogenic features

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse), a candidate species for listing under the Endangered Species Act, has experienced population declines across its range in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) steppe ecosystems of ...

Participatory Research in Sage-grouse Local Working Groups: Case Studies from Utah

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Across the range of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse), collaborative groups focused on local-scale sage-grouse management, known as local working groups (LWGs), have been a core component of state-level efforts toward ...

Response of a small population of greater sage-grouse to tree removal: implications of limiting factors

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
In Utah, greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) range has been reduced to 50% of what is considered historical availability due to habitat degradation and loss. In an effort to improve sage-grouse habitat in southern Utah,

Response of greater sage-grouse to surface coal mining and habitat conservation in association with the mine

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is a sagebrushobligate species that has experienced species-wide declines in population density and distribution.

A spatially explicit modeling framework to guide management of subsidized avian predator densities

Ecosphere, 2023
Anthropogenic resource subsidization across western ecosystems has contributed to widespread increases in generalist avian predators, including common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, raven).

The abundance of Greater Sage-Grouse as a proxy for the abundance of sagebrush-associated songbirds in Wyoming, USA

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Surrogate-species concepts are prevalent in animal conservation. Such strategies advocate for conservation by proxy, wherein one species is used to represent other taxa to obtain a conservation objective.

Common Ravens Disrupt Greater Sage-grouse Lekking Behavior in the Great Basin, USA [PDF]

, 2021
Expansion of human enterprise has contributed to increased abundance and distribution of common ravens (Corvus corax; ravens) across sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems within western North America. Ravens are highly effective nest predators of greater
