Bi-state sage-grouse science symposium

Symposium recording.
Full symposium agenda. 

USGS will hold a Bi-State Sage-Grouse Science Symposium. This virtual symposium will highlight the research, science, and management tools that support sage-grouse monitoring and conservation efforts in the Bi-State area of California and Nevada. Pete Coates and Western Ecological Research Center staff members will present information on:

• Population trends for greater sage-grouse within the Bi-State DPS and across sage-grouse range
• Seasonal and life-stage mapping of sage-grouse habitat in the Bi-State DPS
• Sage-grouse response to wildfire
• Impacts of increases of feral horse and common raven populations on sage-grouse populations
• Lessons learned from sage-grouse translocation efforts
• A targeted annual warning system to inform adaptive management of sage-grouse populations
• Efficacy of conservation efforts to improve sage-grouse population performance within the Bi-State DPS
