Greater sage-grouse apparent nest productivity and chick survival in Carbon County, Wyoming

Creator:

Kehmeier, Jon W., Hansen, Christopher P., Schreiber, Leslie A., Thompson, Frank R., III, Rumble, Mark A., Wojik, Nate, Millspaugh, Joshua J., and Gamo, R. Scott

Abstract:

Greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus populations across North America have been declining due to degradation and fragmentation of sagebrush habitat. As part of a study quantifying greater sage-grouse demographics prior to construction of a wind energy facility, we estimated apparent net nest productivity and survival rate of chicks associated with radio-equipped...

Microhabitat selection of brood-rearing sites by greater sage-grouse in Carbon County, Wyoming

Creator:

Schreiber, Leslie A.

Abstract:

Declines in Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter sage-grouse) populations could be attributed to low chick survival, which may be influenced by the availability of food and cover at sites used by females rearing broods. Habitat attributes important to broods may vary regionally; thus, it is necessary to understand factors affecting...
