Time-varying greater sage-grouse habitat selection and survival indices in the Bi-State region of California and Nevada

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-06-13T00:00:00Z
We used movement and demographic data to simultaneously evaluate habitat selection by sage-grouse across multiple seasons, and measures of survival during key reproductive life stages (nesting and brood-rearing) to identify priority habitat by linking resource selection to demographic performance. We calculated and mapped composite selection and survival indices across the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment (DPS) to differentiate productive habitat that supported high selection and survival compared to areas of maladaptive selection where selection and survival were misaligned.
