Development of landscape scale resource selection models for the management of Gunnison sage-grouse in the Gunnison Basin population
Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus) have declined substantially from their historica range and were listed as threatened by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in November of 2014. GUSG are distributed into seven isolated populations in…
Development of landscape scale resource selection models using interpolated layers from micro-scale vegetation measurements in North Park, Colorado
State agencies have long used micro-scale vegetation measurements to assess relationships between species and how they chose their habitat. Often species select small scale habitat based on vegetation structure, the height and density of certain…
Education, outreach, and partnerships 2020 annual report
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) employs some of the most talented staff committed to inspiring future generations and connecting people to meaningful outdoor experiences. Whether it’s leading a guided hike, presenting to a local school group,…
Evaluating lek-based monitoring and management strategies for greater sage-grouse in the Parachute-Piceance-Roan population in northwestern Colorado
Implementing effective monitoring and mitigation strategies is crucial for conserving populations of sensitive wildlife species. Concern over the status of greater sage-grouse populations has increased range-wide and in Colorado due to population…
Evaluation of alternative population monitoring strategies for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in the Parachute-Piceance-Roan population of northwestern Colorado
Robust estimates of population size and population trends provide the scientific basis for managers to make appropriate and defensible recommendations regarding land-use decisions, harvest regulations, and mitigation efforts for wildlife. When linked…
Evaluation of an electric fish barrier on the South Canal, an irrigation ditch on the lower Gunnison River, Colorado
An electric fish barrier was installed on the east portal of South Canal to reduce fish entrainment associated with the construction of two hydropower plants in 2012. The objective of this study was to monitor fish entrainment and evaluate the…
Foraging ecology of nonbreeding ducks and other waterbirds in the South Platte River Basin
Attracting and holding large populations of waterfowl are goals of habitat management for nonbreeding waterfowl. Currently, many habitat planners use bioenergetics approaches to guide habitat planning for nonbreeding waterfowl and shorebirds. In…
Greater Sage-grouse natal dispersal and brood augmentation with captive-reared chicks
In response to population declines, recent research on greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) has focused on the population ecology, habitat relationships, and response to management practices by this species. However, the mechanisms,…
Greater sage-grouse research in the Parachute-Piceance-Roan Region of western Colorado. Part I: assessment of greater sage-grouse response to pinyon-juniper removal
Large-scale changes to sagebrush habitats throughout western North America have led to growing concern for conservation of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and repeated petitions to list the species under the Endangered Species Act.…
Greater sage-grouse research in the Parachute-Piceance-Roan Region of western Colorado. Part II: multi-scale habitat selection and seasonal habitat mapping
Loss and degradation of sagebrush habitat throughout western North America has led to growing concern for conservation of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and repeated petitions to list the species under the Endangered Species Act.…
