2012 Proposal: Validating Connectivity Models and Informing Conservation Decisions in the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion

2012 Proposal

Summary

We are requesting funding to support implementation of a connected sage-steppe ecotype for the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion (See Appendix B). We will share results from our ecoregional connectivity analysis (WHCWG 2012) and prepare additional analyses and products directly applicable to those implementing connectivity conservation. We emphasize conservation needs for Greater Sage-Grouse and will: (1) test model assumptions using telemetry and genetic data, and (2) develop an occupancy model for Washington. In addition, we will engage in a rigorous effort to validate shrubsteppe connectivity models, evaluate efficacy of existing linkages, and set a baseline for future monitoring of conservation action impacts on connectivity. This proposal [...]
