Gunnison Sage-Grouse
Detailed Description
The Gunnison Sage-Grouse Centrocercus minimus was first recognized in 2000 as a species distinct from the closely related Greater Sage-Grouse C. urophasianus. It has now been listed as Endangered due to its small population size, a fact not apparent when it was treated as the same species as the Greater Sage-Grouse.

Population Genetics
Population genetics is an area of research that examines the distribution of genetic variation and levels of genetic diversity within and between populations. This information provides insights into the level of connectedness of populations throughout a species’ range and can be used to identify unique populations or those with low levels of genetic diversity.
Population Models
Population models can incorporate genetic data to assess potential impacts of different management strategies on connectivity, effective population size, and genetic diversity.
