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 کاملMicrohabitat 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 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 کاملDo Sage-grouse Have a Future in Canada? Population Dynamics and Management Suggestions
Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined by 45 to 80% throughout their North American range. The species currently exists at the northern fringe of their range, on the mixed grass prairie of southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. The population decline in Canada has been the most severe, with declines ranging from 66 to 92% over the last 30 years. There has...
متن کاملAccounting for Fitness: Combining Survival and Selection When Assessing Wildlife–habitat Relationships
Assessing the viability of a population requires understanding of the resources used by animals to determine how those resources affect long-term population persistence. To understand the true importance of resources, one must consider both selection (where a species occurs) and fitness (reproduction and survival) associated with the use of those resources. Failure to do so may result in incorr...
