Evaluating vital rate contributions to greater sage‐grouse population dynamics to inform conservation

Abstract Species conservation efforts often use short‐term studies that fail to identify the vital rates that contribute most to population growth. Although the greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is a candidate for protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and is so...
