Selection and survival of Greater Sage-grouse nests and broods in the Bi-State region of California and Nevada

Metadata Updated: September 17, 2025

Resource selection functions (RSF) and associated maps are often used by managers to guide conservation actions (Crawford et al., 2020; Pratt and Beck, 2021; Saher et al., 2022). However it is important to move beyond designating important habitat solely based on species occupancy or use. Incorporating demographic measures such as reproductive success will provide increased power and detail for ranking habitat for management priority, particularly across multiple life stages and large spatial extents (Gibson et al., 2016; Pratt and Beck, 2021; Stephens et al., 2015). We provide a quantitative approach to differentiate productive habitats supporting high selection and survival from areas of maladaptive selection where selection and survival are misaligned at large spatial scales.
