Temporal mismatch in space use by a sagebrush obligate species after large‐scale wildfire

Ecosphere, 2022
The increase in size and frequency of wildfires in sagebrush steppe ecosystems has significant impacts on sagebrush obligate species. We modeled seasonal habitat use by female greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in the Trout Creek Mountains ...

Abundance and occupancy trends of sooty grouse in western Oregon: determining best modeling practices by comparing observed and simulated data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Sooty grouse Dendragapus fuliginosus are large game birds that occupy montane forests in the Pacific Northwest, USA. These forests have been altered by human activities, which have been shown to have both positive and negative impacts on local populations.

Greater sage‐grouse dynamics are influenced by winter temperature rather than indices of grazing, drought, and breeding season weather in a northern Great Plains population

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the impacts of grazing, climatic variability, and vegetation productivity on the population dynamics of a northern Great Plains greater sage‐grouse population. We found winter temperature influenced annual population growth rates, but did not detect influences of drought, breeding season weather, vegetation productivity or short‐term ...

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

Inter-seasonal movements in tri-state greater sage-grouse: implications for state-centric conservation plans

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) designated greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) as a candidate species to receive protection under the Endangered Species Act in 2010.

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

Stakeholder contemporary knowledge needs regarding the potential effects of tall structures on sage-grouse

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 required all state and federal agencies to grant utilities access permits to promote reliable, renewable energy production and transmission. Contemporary transmission relies largely on above-ground electric transmission

The United States Magnetotelluric Array and the National Impedance Map

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The United States Magnetotelluric Array (USMTArray) data set, collected in the years 2006–2024, consists of more than 1,700 long‐period magnetotelluric stations covering the entirety of the contiguous United States on a quasi‐regular 70 km grid.

Distribution of Sage-Grouse in North America [PDF]

The Condor, 2004
AbstractWe revised distribution maps of potential presettlement habitat and current populations for Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison Sage- Grouse (C. minimus) in North America. The revised map of potential presettlement habitat included some areas omitted from previously published maps such as the San Luis Valley of Colorado
