Wyoming Sage-Grouse Working Groups: Lessons Learned [PDF]
The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) has been the subject of multiple status reviews under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Wyoming accounts for approximately 38% of the range-wide population.

Ecology and management of sage-grouse and sage-grouse habitat [PDF]
Abstract Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus and C. minimus) historically inhabited much of the sagebrush-dominated habitat of North America. Today, sage-grouse populations are declining throughout most of their range. Population dynamics of sage-grouse are marked by strong cyclic behavior.

Isotopic analysis reveals landscape patterns in the diet of a subsidized predator, the common raven
Anthropogenic subsidies to native predators can have cascading effects on sensitive prey populations, but the spatial mechanisms behind these effects are often unknown.

Mitigation effectiveness for improving nesting success of greater sage-grouse influenced by energy development. [PDF]
Sagebrush Artemisia spp. habitats being developed for oil and gas reserves are inhabited by sagebrush obligate species--including the greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus (sage-grouse) that is currently being considered for protection under the ...

Maladaptive nest‐site selection and reduced nest survival in female sage‐grouse following wildfire
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
Many conservation strategies promote the potential of multiple species benefitting from protection of large areas necessary for the continued viability of 1 species.

Greater Sage-Grouse Response to Tree Canopy Removal: Habitat Vegetation Composition and Sage-Grouse Use 10–15 Years Post Treatment in the Southern Periphery of the Species Range [PDF]
Pinyon juniper woodland expansion into Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter ‘sage-grouse’) habitat in southern Utah continues to threaten sage-grouse survival.

Abstract In this chapter, we summarize the ecology and conservation issues affecting greater (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison (C. minimus) sage-grouse, iconic and obligate species of rangelands in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) biome in western North America. Greater sage-grouse are noted for their ability to migrate, whereas Gunnison

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