Aboveground Total and Green Biomass of Dryland Shrub Derived from Terrestrial Laser Scanning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), a dominant shrub species in the sagebrush-steppe ecosystem of the western US, is declining from its historical distribution due to feedbacks between climate and land use change, fire, and invasive species.

Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant

Trends in greater sage‐grouse lek counts relative to existing wind energy development in Wyoming

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin
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,

Adult sage‐grouse numbers rise following raven removal or an increase in precipitation

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
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 ...

Home Range and Movements of Greater Sage-grouse in its Southern-most Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In Utah Greater sage-grouse (sage-grouse) habitat has been reduced to 50% of what is considered historical availability, due to habitat degradation and loss. We conducted a small study to determine the home range size, space use, and movement patterns of

Welfare assessment of turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) on farm

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This Scientific Opinion assesses the welfare of turkeys of all ages (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) on farm in relation to the type and condition of the litter, type and availability of enrichment (including covered veranda and outdoor range), space allowance, concentrations of ammonia and carbon dioxide, effective environmental temperature ...

A mobile tool for capturing greater sage‐grouse

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Capturing greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) using standard approaches can be challenging and inefficient, particularly in areas with relatively small populations and patchy habitat.

Winter habitat use by juvenile greater sage-grouse on Parker Mountain, Utah: implications for sagebrush management

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) are entirely dependent on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) for food and cover during winter.

Avian Song Complexity is Associated With High Field Metabolic Rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Question: Is the production of bird song costly? Analyses of oxygen consumption during singing provided conflicting results. Data studied: Data on 28 passerine species with quantitative information on song complexity and field metabolic rate, which ...
