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 ...

Is Diet Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Influenced by Biomass Availability or Toxins? [PDF]
, 2016 Foraging herbivores must meet nutritional requirements by not only finding enough plant biomass to consume, but also finding plants with high protein content and low concentrations of potentially toxic plant secondary metabolites (PSMs).

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Common Ravens Disrupt Greater Sage-grouse Lekking Behavior in the Great Basin, USA [PDF]
, 2021 Expansion of human enterprise has contributed to increased abundance and distribution of common ravens (Corvus corax; ravens) across sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems within western North America. Ravens are highly effective nest predators of greater
