Developing a habitat-based population viability model for greater sage-grouse in southeastern Alberta : 2001 report

Description

The greater sage-grouse population has declined dramatically over 30 years prior to 2000. Previous research suggests that the decline is a result of poor recruitment. Low levels of recruitment appear to be linked to poor chick survival as a result of limited mesic sites important for brood rearing habitat. Due to the inaccuracies of brood flushing counts and the limits of technology to produce transmitters small enough for chicks, it has been difficult to accurately assess and understand chick survival. A previous population model developed from data gathered in 1998 and 1999 suggested that the population would continue to decrease in 2001, and this was corroborated by findings. However, in 2001, nest success and chick survival were both lower than values used to build the model and suggested that the population would likely decrease even further in 2002. Habitat use and selection at nest sites, brood-rearing locations and summer loafing sites were all assessed in order to obtain a better grasp of what variables might be related to the population decline. Samples of insects were collected at all brood-rearing locations to assess their importance in the diet of sage-grouse chicks. Habitat use of 16 radio-collared females will be assessed starting in January 2002 and will occur until the breeding season. All of these data will be used to develop population and habitat models that will be used to conduct population viability analyses for the sage-grouse population in Alberta.
