Effects of lek count protocols on greater sage‐grouse population trend estimates

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2016
ABSTRACTAnnual counts of males displaying at lek sites are an important tool for monitoring greater sage‐grouse populations (Centrocercus urophasianus), but seasonal and diurnal variation in lek attendance may increase variance and bias of trend analyses.

Annual male lek attendance influences count‐based population indices of greater sage‐grouse

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2013
ABSTRACTPopulations of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are monitored using counts of males displaying on breeding leks (lek counts). When count‐based indices are used to assess population growth (λ), an implicit assumption is that detection is constant through time and space.

A hierarchical analysis of lek counts: environmental drivers of abundance for an endangered grassland bird

Journal of Wildlife Management
Abstract Populations of Attwater's prairie‐chicken ( Tympanuchus cupido attwateri ), once widespread across the Gulf Coastal Prairies of North America, remain critically endangered. Lek counts of displaying males provide the primary basis for population monitoring, yet these

Improved analysis of lek count data using N‐mixture models

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2016
ABSTRACTThe greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of conservation concern in western North America that is experiencing ongoing population declines due to habitat loss, energy development, disease, and other factors. It is therefore imperative to have robust estimates of population size and trends in this species across its range
