In order to achieve both of these goals, it is recognized by government agencies, wildlife professionals, and academics that there must be an increase in the understanding of sage-grouse seasonal habitats and movement patterns. Our cutting-edge research will help to fill this knowledge gap and significantly contribute to the science available to decision makers in Wyoming and the western landscape.
