Experimental chronic noise is related to elevated fecal corticosteroid metabolites in lekking male greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). [PDF]

, 2012
There is increasing evidence that individuals in many species avoid areas exposed to chronic anthropogenic noise, but the impact of noise on those who remain in these habitats is unclear.

Ecology of greater sage-grouse populations inhabiting the northwestern Wyoming Basin

Human-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

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

Wildlife 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.

Phytochemistry Predicts Habitat Selection by an Avian Herbivore at Multiple Spatial Scales [PDF]

, 2013
Animal habitat selection is a process that functions at multiple, hierarchically structured spatial scales. Thus multi-scale analyses should be the basis for inferences about factors driving the habitat selection process.

Utilizing hunter harvest effort to survey for wildlife disease: A case study of West Nile virus in greater sage‐grouse

Wildlife 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.

Declining populations of greater sage-grouse: where and why

Human-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

Wildlife 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 ...

Response of a small population of greater sage-grouse to tree removal: implications of limiting factors

Human-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,

Participatory Research in Sage-grouse Local Working Groups: Case Studies from Utah

Human-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 greater sage-grouse to surface coal mining and habitat conservation in association with the mine

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is a sagebrushobligate species that has experienced species-wide declines in population density and distribution.
