Detailed Description
The location of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) leks (breeding sites) and neighborhood clusters (cluster of leks) within the Great Basin climate cluster. A time series of watches and warnings stemming from the retrospective application of the Targeted Annual Warning System (TAWS) accompanies a time series of abundance indices for a single lek (CA_GRSG_LAS0101_1971), the Great Basin climate cluster, and multiple disturbances (large wildfires).
