Investigating Impacts of Oil and Gas Development on Greater Sage-Grouse Using a Bayesian State-Space Model
USGS and university researchers analyzed changes in male sage-grouse lek counts in Wyoming from 1984 through 2008, measuring disturbance owing to oil and gas development.
Multi-scale Statewide Wyoming Greater Sage-grouse Trends Determined by Population Viability Analysis
USGS scientists and partners investigated sage-grouse population trends in Wyoming and at multiple spatial scales.
Landscape Influence on Gene Flow in Greater Sage-grouse
US Geological Survey scientists and collaborators are using genetic information contained in sage-grouse feathers collected at leks to define the rangewide network of breeding populations.
Modeling Seasonal Habitat Requirements and Population Viability for Greater Sage-grouse in Wyoming
USGS has developed Greater Sage-grouse habitat-selection models for the nesting, summer, late brood rearing, and winter life stages in Wyoming to assess habitat quality and responses change across large landscapes.
