Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Sage‐grouse breeding and late brood‐rearing habitat guidelines in Utah
Delineation, protection, and restoration of habitats provide the basis for endangered and threatened species recovery plans. Species recovery plans typically contain guidelines that provide managers with a scientific basis to designate and manage ...

Influence of transmission line construction on winter sage-grouse habitat use in southern Utah
The construction and operation of electric power transmission lines (“power lines”) and their associated infrastructure has been identified as a conservation threat to the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse).

Carbon and water dynamics of Old World bluestem in the U.S. Southern Great Plains
Abstract Forage production in the Southern Great Plains of the United States relies heavily on Old World bluestem (OWB, Bothriochloa spp.). This study analyzed 4 years (2021–2024) of continuous eddy covariance measurements in a managed OWB pasture in central Oklahoma, spanning both drought and wet periods.

In rural areas, maintaining spaces between houses >500 m will likely facilitate ungulate movement. To fully conserve functional habitat, such as unimpeded habitat use along migration corridors, maintaining spaces approximately >2.5 km between houses will likely be necessary. Abstract Wildlife often lose access to habitat due to housing development. The

Adult sage‐grouse numbers rise following raven removal or an increase in precipitation
Weather and lethal control of common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, ravens) can affect the nesting success of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), but implications of these effects in terms of the subsequent size of the breeding population ...

Abstract Woody plant encroachment into grasslands and shrublands is a global phenomenon that negatively impacts ecosystem services and wildlife populations. North American sagebrush ecosystems have experienced widespread degradation from encroaching conifers, leading to losses of sagebrush‐obligate wildlife.

Trends in greater sage‐grouse lek counts relative to existing wind energy development in Wyoming
Rapid increases in wind energy development globally highlight the need to evaluate how electricity generation may impact wildlife. The greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage‐grouse) has experienced range‐wide population declines,

A mobile tool for capturing greater sage‐grouse
Capturing greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) using standard approaches can be challenging and inefficient, particularly in areas with relatively small populations and patchy habitat.
