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 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...

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 کاملComparing Ecological Site Descriptions to Habitat Characteristics Influencing Greater Sage-Grouse Nest Site Occurrence and Success
We used 119 greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) nests located in the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming during 2004–2007 to assess the ability of US Department of Agriculture–Natural Resource Conservation Service (USDA–NRCS) ecological site descriptions (ESDs) to predict nest occurrence and success. We used nesting data from a regional study in the Powder River Basin that do...
