Detailed Description

Gunnison sage-grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus) populations located in southwestern Colorado, USA. The population boundaries reflect the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW; 2016) population range extents (currently occupied habitat) and a modified boundary of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service critical habitat extent in Colorado and Utah (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2014), which includes unoccupied adjacent habitat, for this threatened species. Map from Saher and others. 2022.

Balancing model generality and specificity in management-focused habitat selection models for Gunnison sage-grouse

Identifying, protecting, and restoring habitats for declining wildlife populations is foundational to conservation and recovery planning for any species at risk of decline. Resource selection analysis is a key tool to assess habitat and prescribe management actions. Yet, it can be challenging to map suitable resource conditions across a wide range of ecological contexts and use the resulting model
