We are requesting funding to support 2 multi-year projects for 9 months each. Both of these projects are focused on validation of models produced by the WHCWG. We will use occurrence, movement, and genetic data collected for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and mammalian carnivores to validate statewide and ecoregional connectivity models developed by the WHCWG (see the Washington Connected Landscapes Project Part I proposal submitted concurrently for details). Specifically, our project will: • Validate connectivity models developed by the WHCWG using actual movement data from greater sage-grouse. • Test predictions of connectivity models and core habitat areas developed by the WHCWG using greater...

A rapidly changing climate and expanding human footprint is driving increased rates of landscape change in the Pacific Northwest. This makes it challenging for managers to know if and to what extent recovery goals and conservation plans for at-risk species need to be modified to account for changing habitat conditions. Addressing this challenge requires accurate, up-to-date information about landscape change and how it affects the habitat and viability of at-risk species. In addition, managers need to be alerted when trends in habitat conditions approach key ecological thresholds, in order to determine if management goals and plans need to be modified in response to these changes. The goal of this project is to...
