November 2007 | Publisher: Academic Institution (Sage-grouse Restoration Project (SGRP), Utah State University) | Format: .PDF
sgrp.usu.edu — The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and the Gunnison sage-grouse (C. minimus) are species of concern because of their population declines and shrinking geographic distributions. Of continuing interest is the question of population abundance and trends. This publication answers the questions that deal with sage-grouse population, More...
