Ecology of Greater Sage-Grouse in the Dakotas
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations and the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) communities that they rely on have dramatically declined from historic levels. Moreover, information regarding sage-grouse annual life-history requirements at the eastern-most extension of sagebrush …

The Greater Sage-grouse in Wyoming: A Technonatural Study
… through the instrumentalization of the Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Wyoming. It treats technological interventions within environmental construction as generating biotic-machinic entanglements termed technonature. I present the formation and operation of the Wyoming …

Habitat selection and nesting ecology of translocated Greater Sage-grouse
Sagebrush ecosystems are one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America. The cumulative effects of habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation of the sagebrush ecosystem threaten the persistence of the Greater Sage-grouse. Sage-grouse depend on healthy, intact areas of sagebrush habitat …

Lek ecology of male greater sage-grouse in Carbon County, Wyoming
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter �sage-grouse�) have experienced range-wide population declines for several decades, and as a result they were considered warranted for listing under the Endangered Species Act in 2010. Therefore, wildlife managers need to understand how …

The ecology of translocated greater sage-grouse in Strawberry Valley, Utah
<p>Manuscript No. 1 Translocations of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been attempted in 7 states and one Canadian province with very little success. To recover a small remnant population and test the efficacy of sage-grouse translocations, we captured and transported 137 adult …

Greater Sage-grouse habitat and demographic response to grazing by non-native ungulates
… of grazing by livestock and feral horses on Greater Sage-grouse (\textit{Centrocercus urophasianus}, hereafter sage-grouse) often focus on the negative impacts to habitat, and speculate how the sage-grouse populations will respond in turn. While the linkage between sage-grouse demographics …

Greater Sage Grouse on the Edge of Their Range: Leks and Surrounding Landscapes in the Dakotas
<p>Sage grouse (Centrocercus spp.) have been declining throughout their range in the United States and Canada as well as in individual states and provinces. Sage grouse, including the combined range of both the greater sage grouse (C. urophasianus) and the Gunnison sage grouse (C. minimus), once …

Nesting and Brood-Rearing Success and Resource Selection of Greater Sage-Grouse in Northwestern South Dakota
… plans, particularly for sensitive species. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined range-wide at a rate of 2% per year from 1965 to 2003. In South Dakota, populations have generally declined. Reasons for the decline are mostly attributed to human-induced …

Use and Survival of Greater Sage-Grouse in Meadows Managed for Non-Native Ungulate Grazing in Nevada
Population declines of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter sage-grouse) have largely been attributed to extensive loss of sagebrush habitat. Consequently, investigating how disturbance to seasonal sagebrush habitat, such as winter and nesting habitat, affects population …

Analyses of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Translocation Release Methods and Chick Survival in Strawberry Valley, Utah
… that low nest success and juvenile survival of Greater Sage-Grouse may be responsible for population declines. Recent technological advances in micro-transmitters have made radio-telemetry studies on Sage-Grouse chicks more common. Radio-telemetry enables monitoring of individual chicks and …

Habitat Resource Selection By Greater Sage Grouse Within Oil and Gas Development Areas in North Dakota and Montana
Populations of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage grouse) have declined substantially throughout a majority of their range (Connelly and Braun 1997, Schroeder et al. 1999, 2004). There has also been a corresponding decline in sage (Artemisia spp.) habitat quantity and …

Regulatory Capacity, Governance Failure, and the Challenge of Urgent Environmental Problems: A Critical Analysis of Conservation Strategies for the Greater Sage-grouse
… of the Endangered Species Act to protect the greater sage-grouse—a charismatic ground-nesting bird. To respond to both economic and environmental objectives, public and private actors emphasized biodiversity offsetting as a response to obligations under the Act. Offsetting enables …

Greater Sage-Grouse Response to Coal-Bed Natural Gas Development and West Nile Virus in the Powder River Basin, Montana and Wyoming, USA
… and conservation. Two new potential stressors on greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations in the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming are coal-bed natural gas (CBNG) development and West Nile virus (WNv). I first examined how CBNG development, habitat, and other landscape …
