Sage-grouse Nesting and Brood Habitat Use in Southern Canada
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined from 66 to 92% during the last 30 years in Canada, where they are listed as endangered. We used radiotelemetry to examine greater sage-grouse nest and brood habitat use in Alberta and assess the relationship between habitat and the population decline. We also identified the patch size at which sage-grouse were selecting n...
متن کاملConsiderations for Sage-Grouse Management Objectives
In March 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) identified the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) as a candidate species for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) because of habitat loss and fragmentation and that regulatory mechanisms needed to protect the species and its habitat were inadequate. However, after further review of on-going range wide...
متن کاملSage-Grouse and Indirect Interactions: Potential Implications of Coyote Control on Sage-Grouse Populations
Coyotes (Canis latrans) are lethally controlled throughout the range of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and it has been suggested that such control may benefit sage-grouse. However, the perceived benefits of control are based on the direct effects of coyotes on sage-grouse and largely ignore potential indirect interactions. Here, we summarize some of the evidence for direct effe...
متن کاملSage-Grouse Habitat Selection During Winter in Alberta
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are dependent on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) for food and shelter during winter, yet few studies have assessed winter habitat selection, particularly at scales applicable to conservation planning. Small changes to availability of winter habitats have caused drastic reductions in some sage-grouse populations. We modeled winter habitat selection by s...
