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 …

Assessing wildlife habitat suitability for ecological sites and state and transition models
… along with soils and vegetation. I developed greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) habitat models using published literature and a fuzzy logic knowledge representation and evaluation system. The resulting outputs were 0-1 scaled indices …

Grazing and Climate Effects on High Elevation Meadow Resources
… than 38% of the human global population. The Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) has commonly been used as an umbrella species for restoration of sagebrush ecosystems in rangelands, due to its status as an indicator of overall rangeland health. Scarce mesic resources may lead to an …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Conserving Montana's sagebrush highway: long distance migration in sage-grouse
… mechanism for conserving migratory wildlife in sagebrush ecosystems. We study further a greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter ‘sage-grouse’) population with the longest-known annual migration, a 240-km journey between summer range in north central Montana, USA, and …

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 …

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 …

Nesting and Brood-Rearing Habitat Selection of Greater Sage-Grouse and Associated Survival of Hens and Broods at the Edge of Their Historic Distribution
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) once occurred in 12 states and 3 Canadian provinces. Sage-grouse populations have declined over the last 60 years due to extensive habitat alteration and loss. Concerns for the management and conservation of greater sage-grouse and their habitats have …

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 …

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 …

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 …
