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

Human-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.

Stakeholder contemporary knowledge needs regarding the potential effects of tall structures on sage-grouse

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 required all state and federal agencies to grant utilities access permits to promote reliable, renewable energy production and transmission. Contemporary transmission relies largely on above-ground electric transmission

Measuring the effectiveness of conservation: a novel framework to quantify the benefits of sage-grouse conservation policy and easements in Wyoming. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Increasing energy and housing demands are impacting wildlife populations throughout western North America. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species known for its sensitivity to landscape-scale disturbance, inhabits the same low ...

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.

Microhabitat Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Hens During Brood Rearing

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined throughout the western United States over the past century. Loss of large stands of sagebrush is a major factor leading to the decline of sage-grouse populations.

Sage‐grouse breeding and late brood‐rearing habitat guidelines in Utah

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Delineation, protection, and restoration of habitats provide the basis for endangered and threatened species recovery plans. Species recovery plans typically contain guidelines that provide managers with a scientific basis to designate and manage ...

Influence of transmission line construction on winter sage-grouse habitat use in southern Utah

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The construction and operation of electric power transmission lines (“power lines”) and their associated infrastructure has been identified as a conservation threat to the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse).

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 ...
