Study area and spatial depiction of occurrence by greater sage-grouse in Wyoming. Spatial depiction of occurrence of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in south-central Wyoming, USA, from 2009 to 2012 estimated from discrete-choice models of encamped and traveling behavioral modes. The combined output depicts landscapes that serve concurrently in high-priority encamped and traveling modes (25.4%; see Table 7), as well as landscapes that are used for either encampment (4.6%) or traveling (4.6%), but not both (65.4%). The ‘area in question’ is characterized by sand dunes and shrub brush species and is discussed in the ‘Results’ section.
