Greater Sage-Grouse: ecology and conservation of a landscape species and its habitats
Read the USGS News Release
Presentation and Handouts used for
September 29-October 1, 2009 Briefings
Thirty-eight federal, state, university, and nongovernmental experts have collaborated to produce new scientific information about Greater Sage-Grouse populations, sagebrush habitats, and relationships among sage-grouse, sagebrush habitats, and land use. The information
has been published as a scientific monograph in the series
Studies in Avian Biology under the management of the Cooper Ornithological Society. The publisher for the monograph
is the University of California Press.
Pre-release of the 25 chapters formerly available on this web site
occurred under special arrangements with the
authors, the Cooper Ornithological Society, and
the University of California Press. Per this agreement, pre-release chapters
were removed when the book was published.
The book is now available from the University of California Press and many major booksellers.
