Integrating multiple indices of habitat quality to inform habitat management for a sagebrush indicator species

Ecological Informatics
Robust science is needed to inform natural resource management and policy decisions. Predictive species habitat maps are frequently employed in conservation decision-making but are often based on a single metric representing habitat quality.

Function over form: The benefits of aspen as surrogate brood‐rearing habitat for greater sage‐grouse

Ecosphere
Species of conservation concern are often habitat specialists, posing significant risk to those species when specific plant communities are threatened. As a result, practitioners habitually focus conservation efforts on these communities while ignoring ...

Evaluating satellite‐transmitter backpack‐harness effects on greater sage‐grouse survival and device retention in the Great Basin

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Wildlife tracking studies have become ubiquitous in ecology and now provide previously unobtainable data regarding individual movement, vital rates, and population demographics. However, tracking devices can potentially reduce survival of study subjects,
