Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.
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

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
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

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
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

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
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.

Space between houses influences movement and habitat selection of ungulates: Width as a novel metric of development

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
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

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 ...

Songbird population trajectories diverge under simulations of conifer encroachment versus removal in a sagebrush ecosystem

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
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

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,

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.
