    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Status of the southern white-tailed ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura altipetens) in Colorado was assessed from 2013-2017 using a number of metrics to determine trends in abundance, survival, site fidelity, reproductive success, resource selection, and genetic structure. The species inhabits naturally fragmented alpine habitats that have been, and are currently impacted by anthropogenic threats that predominantly include climate change, sheep grazing, hunting, mining, and recreation. Fine-scale genetic structure was apparent between the San Juan Mountains (South population), and those in the central and northern mountain ranges (North population). Though some isolated pockets of white-tailed ptarmigan reside in the state (i.e., Flat Tops and Sangre de Cristo), there is adequate gene flow across Colorado to maintain high genetic diversity with currently no indications of severe effects of small population sizes.]]></dcterms:description>
