Microhabitat Conditions in Wyoming's Sage-Grouse Core Areas: Effects on Nest Site Selection and Success. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The purpose of our study was to identify microhabitat characteristics of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) nest site selection and survival to determine the quality of sage-grouse habitat in 5 regions of central and southwest Wyoming ...

Visibility bias for sage‐grouse lek counts
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Declining populations of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) necessitate accurate estimates of population trends. The most widespread approach to monitoring sage‐grouse populations involves counting males attending ...

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 ...

Ecology and management of sage-grouse and sage-grouse habitat [PDF]
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2004 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
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021 Anthropogenic subsidies to native predators can have cascading effects on sensitive prey populations, but the spatial mechanisms behind these effects are often unknown.

Maladaptive nest‐site selection and reduced nest survival in female sage‐grouse following wildfire
Ecosphere, 2022 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
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2020 Many conservation strategies promote the potential of multiple species benefitting from protection of large areas necessary for the continued viability of 1 species.

, 2023 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
Ecological Indicators, 2022 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 ...

Sage-Grouse and Indirect Interactions: Potential Implications of Coyote Control on Sage-Grouse Populations [PDF]
The Condor, 2006 AbstractAbstractCoyotes (Canis latrans) are lethally controlled throughout the range of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and it has been suggested that such control may benefit sage-grouse. However, the perceived benefits of control are based on the direct effects of coyotes on sage-grouse and largely ignore potential indirect ...
