Code for Population and survival models of greater sage-grouse to investigate effects of precipitation and drought in the Great Basin, USA
May 1, 2025
This repository includes R code to run nest, brood, and adult hierarchical logistic exposure models, used for analyzing survival responses of Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) to a suite of environmental covariates, with emphasis on precipitation and/or drought effects. An example population state-space model (the top model according to WAIC; see manuscript results and Appendix S7) is also included to demonstrate general model structure used to investigate population-level responses.

Precipitation timing mediates life-stage and population-level associations with climate for an indicator species Precipitation timing mediates life-stage and population-level associations with climate for an indicator species
Global climate change is contributing to declines in biodiversity, although changes vary across geographic regions and species. The iconic greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is central to conservation within the North American sagebrush ecosystem, yet its vulnerability to climate effects remains poorly understood. We used hierarchical models to explore weather...
