Using individual‐based habitat selection analyses to understand the nuances of habitat use in an anthropogenic landscape: a case study using greater sage‐grouse trying to raise young in an oil and gas field

open access: yesWildlife Biology, 2023
Habitat selection analyses conducted at an individual level may reveal patterns in selection not apparent when individuals are pooled in population‐level approaches. Using GPS transmitters that gather high‐resolution location data, we explored fine‐scale

Sage-Grouse and Indirect Interactions: Potential Implications of Coyote Control on Sage-Grouse Populations [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Acute and lagged fitness consequences for a sagebrush obligate in a post mega‐wildfire landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
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

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

open access: yesHuman-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

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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Greater Sage-Grouse nest bowls buffer microclimate in a post-megafire landscape although effects on nest survival are marginal

open access: yesOrnithological Applications, 2021
Temperature at fine spatial scales is an important driver of nest site selection for many avian species during the breeding season and can influence nest success.

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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Declining populations of greater sage-grouse: where and why

open access: yesHuman-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

Large-scale wildfire reduces population growth in a peripheral population of sage-grouse

open access: yes, 2021
Background Drastic increases in wildfire size and frequency threaten western North American sagebrush ( Artemisia L. spp.) ecosystems. At relatively large spatial scales, wildfire facilitates type conversion of sagebrush-dominated plant communities to ...

Do greater sage‐grouse exhibit maladaptive habitat selection?

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
. Maladaptive habitat selection, where animals select habitat with reduced fi tness potential or avoid otherwise suitable habitat, exacerbates the threat of population decline for species vulnerable from habitat loss and fragmentation.
