Dynamic Disturbance Processes Create Dynamic Lek Site Selection in a Prairie Grouse
It is well understood that landscape processes can affect habitat selection patterns, movements, and species persistence. These selection patterns may be altered or even eliminated as a result of changes in disturbance regimes and a concomitant management focus on uniform, moderate disturbance across landscapes. To assess how restored landscape heterogeneity influences habitat selection pattern...
متن کاملDynamic reserve site selection∗
Establishing biological reserves in key habitats is one method of preventing loss of biodiversity. We analyze a dynamic reserve site selection model in which a conservation planner receives a budget each period to purchase sites of heterogeneous cost and ecological value in order to maximize species conserved. Sites chosen as reserved are conserved, while sites left outside the reserve system a...
متن کاملDisturbance Factors Influencing Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Abandonment in North-Central Wyoming
Detecting the disappearance of active leks is the most efficient way to determine large declines in greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations; thus, understanding factors that influence lek abandonment is critical. We evaluated factors that may have influenced the probability of sage-grouse lek abandonment in the Bighorn Basin (BHB) of north-central Wyoming from 1980 to 2009. ...
متن کاملSingle-species Dynamic Site Selection
Methods for designing regional reserve networks mostly concentrate on providing maximal representation of species occurring in the region. Representation-based methods, however, typically consider a static snapshot of species incidences, and the spatial dynamics of the species are ignored. It has been empirically demonstrated that reserves designed using representation do not guarantee another ...
متن کاملLek Organization in Sage Grouse: Variations on a Territorial Theme
-During a 5-year study of Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in eastern California, displaying males abandoned territoriality throughout one breeding season and did so intermittently in three others. Abandonment followed a severe winter and was correlated with a change from location-dependent to hierarchical dominance relationships between males. Intermittent territorial breakdowns occurre...
