Table 7 Reclassification of relative probability bins into broad designations that prioritized habitat based on behavioral mode

Bin rank
Encamped	Traveling	Designation	Number of cells	Percentage of landscape
1 to 7	8 to 10	High-priority traveling habitat	406,624	4.6
8 to 10	1 to 7	High priority encamped habitat	406,624	4.6
8 to 10	8 to 10	High priority encamped and traveling habitat	2,240,132	25.4
1 to 7	1 to 7	Lower priority habitat	5,769,140	65.4
Total			8,822,520

Raster surfaces depicting encamped and traveling behavior of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in south-central Wyoming, USA, during 2009 to 2012 were developed with the predicted probability of occurrence classified into ten relative probability bins (1 = lowest, 10 = highest) that included 10% of the landscape area. The encamped and traveling surfaces were combined to provide an output raster in which a unique output value (designation) was assigned to each of four combinations of input values.
