Proposal: Evaluating biodiversity of sagebrush-dependent species within sage-grouse habitat: an example from the Wyoming Basins

Summary

Concern for declining greater sage-grouse populations (Centrocercus urophasianus) and their potential listing under the Endangered Species Act has prompted an unprecedented effort by federal, state, and private stakeholders to implement best management practices and identify priority areas for conservation. Given the dependency of this species on sagebrush-dominated habitat, it is likely that sage-grouse could function as an umbrella species where their conservation benefits other obligate sagebrush species and the ecosystems on which they depend (Rowland et al. 2006). While some comparisons of overlap in occurrence have been conducted for songbirds in some areas of the sagebrush biome (see Hanser and Knick 2011), we have yet to fully [...]
