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...

Creator:: Gregg, Michael A.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations declined range wide during the past 50 years. Grouse populations were 2-3 times larger than the current population as recently as the early 1970's. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, declines were attributed habitat degradation that caused reduced productivity. Because chick survival remains the...

Abstract:: Juniper is a native species to Oregon and confers ecological benefits to wildlife when it is at savannah and transitional densities. Its range and extent have fluctuated with climatic change, but the current range expansion is unprecedented in its extent. The range expansion has been associated with the degradation of...

Creator:: Ersch, Erica A.
Abstract:: A causative factor in declining greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations is reduced annual recruitment due to poor habitat quality. Sage-grouse population decline is concurrent with a decline in the extent and quality of the sagebrush (Artemisia sp.) biome. However, current research has shown a positive relationship between sage-grouse brood and...

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...

Creator:: Hall, Frederick C.
Abstract:: Management practices and options to provide habitat for wildlife in the Great Basin of southeastern Oregon deal with both vegetation treatment and protection, livestock management, maintenance or distribution of water developments, protection of wildlife areas through road closures or fencing, and direct manipulation of wildlife through hunting, trapping, or other...
