Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a
landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure …

Despite decades of field research on greater sage‐grouse, range‐wide demographic data
have yet to be synthesized into a sensitivity analysis to guide management actions. We …

Reduced annual recruitment because of poor habitat quality has been implicated as one of
the causative factors in the range‐wide decline of sage‐grouse (Centrocercus …

Abstract Information on survival and habitat use of juvenile animals during the transition
period from parental independence to adulthood is sparse, yet survival during this period …

Effective long-term wildlife conservation planning for a species must be guided by
information about population vital rates at multiple scales. Greater sage-grouse …

Translocations of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been attempted
in 7 states and one Canadian province with very little success. To recover a small remnant …

Intensification of rangeland management has coincided with population declines among
obligate grassland species in the largest remaining tallgrass prairie in North America …

Declining sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations may be characterized by
poor recruitment largely attributed to low chick survival. However, few published studies …

Assessing the viability of a population requires understanding of the resources used by
animals to determine how those resources affect long-term population persistence. To …

Reliable vital rates for all life stages are necessary to identify limiting factors in wildlife
populations and inform sound wildlife management. The difficulty associated with capturing …
