Microhabitat Selection for Nesting and Brood-rearing by the Greater Sage-grouse in Xeric Big Sagebrush
Understanding selection of breeding habitat is critical to conserving and restoring habitats for the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), particularly in xeric landscapes (≤25 cm annual precipitation). We monitored radio-marked female sage-grouse in south-central Wyoming in 2008 and 2009 to assess microhabitat use during nesting and brood rearing. For each model we grouped variables...
متن کاملBurning and Mowing Wyoming Big Sagebrush: Do Treated Sites Meet Minimum Guidelines for Greater Sage-Grouse Breeding Habitats?
Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis) treatments are often implemented to improve breeding habitat for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species of considerable conservation concern. In 2008 and 2009, we measured vegetation structure available to sage-grouse for breeding at 19 sites that were prescribed burned during 1990–1999 and 2000–2006, 6 sites that wer...

متن کاملForb, insect, and soil response to burning and mowing Wyoming big sagebrush in greater sage-grouse breeding habitat.
Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis A. t. Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle and Young) communities provide structure and forbs and insects needed by greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) for growth and survival. We evaluated forb, insect, and soil responses at six mowed and 19 prescribed burned sites compared to 25, paired and untreated reference sites. Sites were cl...
متن کاملInfluences of Free-Roaming Equids on Sagebrush Ecosystems, with a Focus on Greater Sage-Grouse
Free-roaming equids (horses [Equus caballus] and burros [E. asinus]) in the United States were introduced to North America at the end of the 15th century, and have unique management status among ungulates. Legislation demands that these animals are neither hunted nor actively managed with fences and rotation among pastures, but instead constitute an integral part of the natural system of the pu...
