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…
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,…
Cause specific mortality of mountain plover (Charadrius montanus) chicks in eastern Colorado: phase III. A pilot field study
The mountain plover (Charadrius montanus) is a species of special concern in Colorado with >50% of the continental population believed to breed in the eastern half of the state. In eastern Colorado breeding plovers primarily use short-grass…
Pilot study to assess northern bobwhite response to short-duration intensive grazing on Tamarack State Wildlife Area
Widespread suppression of historic disturbance regimes have reduced heterogeneity in vegetation communities on which many wildlife rely for various life events and stages. Northern bobwhites require areas of thicker grass cover for nesting within…
Development of distribution models for management of greater sage-grouse in North Park Colorado
Rangewide declines of greater sage-grouse and recent energy development within sagebrush habitat has led to concern for conservation of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) (GRSG) populations across Colorado, including in North Park, which…
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…
Using digital photographs and pattern recognition identify individual boreal toads (Anaxyrus boreas boreas)
Individual identification of animals can provide an array of useful capture-mark-recapture information, allowing researchers to estimate survival, movement, abundance, recruitment, and capture probability (Williams et al. 2002). This information can…
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,…
Evaluation of an electric fish barrier on the South Canal, an irrigation ditch on the lower Gunnison River, Colorado (PDF)
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…
