Linking greater sage-grouse habitat use and suitability across spatiotemporal scales in central Oregon

Creator:

Freese, Mark T.

Abstract:

Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat research has historically focused on fine-scale (0.007 - 0.032 ha) vegetation structure and composition immediately surrounding sites selected by birds. However, little work has evaluated vegetation attributes important for Greater Sage-grouse at a landscape-scale or identified landscape attributes that influence habitat use patterns. Habitat use...

Interspace/under-canopy foraging patterns of beef cattle in sagebrush communities : implications to sage-grouse nesting habitat

Creator:

France, Kevin A.

Abstract:

Livestock grazing has been indirectly related to sage-grouse (centrocercus urophasianus) declines in the western United States and southern Canada; however, there is a lack of scientific research that directly relates the two. Our objective was to investigate the influence of livestock herbivory on sage-grouse nesting habitat by determining the spatial...
