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 …

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 …

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 …

The Emergence of the Wyoming Core Area Strategy: "The Sage Grouse Rebellion"
… Core Area Strategy (WCAS), a state-based Greater Sage Grouse conservation plan. It presents a theoretical framework that is based on and adds nuance to the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). The hypothesis this study explored was: if a subsystem's jurisdiction is threatened by a hierarchically …

Greater Sage-grouse habitat and demographic response to grazing by non-native ungulates
… 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 and …

SAGE-GROUSE AND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT: INTEGRATING SCIENCE WITH CONSERVATION PLANNING TO REDUCE IMPACTS
… respond to anthropogenic disturbance. I assessed sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) large scale habitat ecology and response to energy development in the winter and nesting seasons using radio-marked individuals in the Powder River Basin, Montana and Wyoming, USA. Landscape scale percent …

Ruffled Feathers: Shared narratives in the sage-grouse management conflict in Sublette County, Wyoming
The tense conflict over sage grouse management in the West, where livelihoods have been pitted against the possibility of an endangered species listing, has been ongoing for many years and has been described as being as tense as the spotted owl conflict in the Northwest in the 1990s. This research …

SAGE-GROUSE AND THE HUMAN FOOTPRINT: IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION OF SMALL AND DECLINING POPULATIONS
… assessed landscape-level processes influencing sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), to a migratory population in the Milk River Basin (MRB), northeast Montana, USA, and south-central Saskatchewan, Canada. A regional analysis of leks (e.g., communal breeding sites) documented that populations …
