Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013 Recent research suggested greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) fence collision may be widespread, and fence‐marking methods have been developed for reducing prairie‐grouse collision in sagebrush‐steppe habitats. However,

Impact of sagebrush nutrients and monoterpenes on greater sage-grouse vital rates
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) depend on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) to complete its annual life cycle. The winter diet for sage-grouse consists almost entirely of sagebrush leaves, and individual birds may gain weight while ...

Chemical Warfare Agents in Plants: Biodefensive Terpenes from Sagebrush [PDF]
, 2013 To prevent being eaten, some plants create compounds that are toxic to herbivores, and herbivores respond by creating new ways to metabolize these toxins. For example, sagebrush produces bio-defensive terpenes to deter foraging by sage grouse.

Ethology, EarlyView.Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

Plant Driven Movement: Does Plant Quality Affect the Foraging Patterns of Successful Male Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus Urophasianus)? [PDF]
, 2015 The structural and dietary quality of plants is highly variable across the landscape and may influence energy acquisition by herbivores needed for energy dependent activities.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.Abstract Woody plant encroachment into grasslands and shrublands is a global phenomenon that negatively impacts ecosystem services and wildlife populations. North American sagebrush ecosystems have experienced widespread degradation from encroaching conifers, leading to losses of sagebrush‐obligate wildlife.
