Greater Sage-Grouse nest bowls buffer microclimate in a post-megafire landscape although effects on nest survival are marginal

open access: yesOrnithological Applications, 2021
Temperature at fine spatial scales is an important driver of nest site selection for many avian species during the breeding season and can influence nest success.

Large-scale wildfire reduces population growth in a peripheral population of sage-grouse

open access: yes, 2021
Background Drastic increases in wildfire size and frequency threaten western North American sagebrush ( Artemisia L. spp.) ecosystems. At relatively large spatial scales, wildfire facilitates type conversion of sagebrush-dominated plant communities to ...

Do greater sage‐grouse exhibit maladaptive habitat selection?

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
. Maladaptive habitat selection, where animals select habitat with reduced fi tness potential or avoid otherwise suitable habitat, exacerbates the threat of population decline for species vulnerable from habitat loss and fragmentation.

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.

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

open access: yesWildlife 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

open access: yesHuman-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

open access: yesWildlife 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

open access: yesHuman-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

open access: yesHuman-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,
