Using annual counts of male Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) attending 584 leks in southwest Wyoming (2003-2019) and estimates of sagebrush cover from the Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP), we used a scale selection approach to jointly estimate the scale of effect and the effect of sagebrush cover in the surrounding landscape for sage-grouse population trends. We estimated these parameters using a state-space model fit with a Bayesian approach. Data formatting necessary for this analysis produced data stored in two lists, one for model constants (nimbleconstants_sg_wlci.txt, including number of years, number of sites [leks], number of scales, number of visits, indicators for site and year, and number of detection parameters) and one for model data (nimbledata_sg_wlci.txt, including lek counts/surveys in both long- and array-format, a matrix for detection covariates, an array for sagebrush cover [scaled], and unscaled arrays for sagebrush, ordinal date, and time since sunrise).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9KDOBM2", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.62fd4103d34e3a444286a0d4.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_62fd4103d34e3a444286a0d4", "keyword": ["Southwest Wyoming", "USGS:62fd4103d34e3a444286a0d4", "United States of America", "Wyoming", "Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative", "biota", "density dependence", "landscape", "population dynamics", "scale"], "modified": "2022-10-05T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-111.0487, 40.8917, -105.9123, 43.4700", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) scale of effect for Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) population trends in southwest Wyoming, USA 2003-2019"}
