Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been subject to long-term and continuing declines in population and habitat since European settlement of western North America. Increased wildfire activity constitutes a primary threat to the species in western portions of their range, with documented declines in wildfire-affected populations. Following a 187,000-ha wildfire in...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of
three methods of changing vocational educators' sex-role perceptions
of themselves and their sex-role perceptions of males and females to
a more androgynous state. The hypotheses tested were: (1) there
is no difference in sex -role...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a guidance-based career exploratory program related to skilled trades and technical occupations for internal-external locus of control middle school females in Murray, Kentucky. The problem was to determine the change in career interests resulting from the interaction between a...
Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) depend on sagebrush habitat for food and cover during winter, yet few sage-grouse winter ecology studies have been conducted. During January and February 2007, we monitored 22 radio-collared sage-grouse (7 females and 15 males) in central Oregon to characterize winter habitat use and movement patterns. We...
Counts of males attending leks in the spring have been the primary means employed by states to monitor status of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophansianus) populations for over 75 years. Despite limitations and potential biases, lek count data remain the only long-term, range-wide dataset available for evaluating trends in sage-grouse populations....
Purpose of the Study The purpose of this investigation was two fold: (1) to determine the effects of a Summer Institute for Cultural Awareness upon the self-actualization of experienced teachers from four separate high schools, and (2) to determine the success of the Summer Institute for Cultural Awareness in terms...
It is well documented that greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) populations have been in decline throughout their range in the western United States. Currently, sage-grouse occupy approximately 56% of their historic distribution prior to European settlement. Numerous factors have been cited as potential causes for declining productivity and contraction...
