Summary

Functional connectivity, quantified using landscape genetics, can inform conservation through the identification of factors linking genetic structure to landscape mechanisms. We used breeding habitat metrics, landscape attributes, and indices of grouse abundance, to compare fit between structural connectivity and genetic differentiation within five long-established Sage-Grouse Management Zones (MZ) I–V using microsatellite genotypes from 6,009 greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) collected across their range. We estimated structural connectivity using a circuit theory-based approach where we built resistance surfaces using thresholds dividing the landscape into “habitat” and “nonhabitat” and nodes were clusters of sage-grouse [...]

Revision History -- First release: February, 2018. Original title: "Sample collection information and microsatellite data for greater sage-grouse across the species range generated 2013 - 2016". Version 2.0: December, 2022. New title: USGS Data Release "Genetic and functional connectivity data for greater sage-grouse across the species range generated 2005–2015" -- In September, 2022, USGS noticed that only a subset of genotypes from individuals presented in the Row et al. (2018) were included in the official USGS Data Release. The omission of a group of individuals whose genotypes were included in the data analysis was due to an error in submitting the genetic data for data release. This error has been rectified and now all 6,009 individuals (with their corresponding genotypes) are included in this updated data release. In addition, by adding all individuals in the dataset, the range of dates has changed to 2005 - 2015. The previous date range included 2016 which was incorrect. Changes from previous version: 1) Added genetic data for missing individuals. Now genetic data from all 6,009 individuals is available. 2) Updated metadata and landing page on ScienceBase accordingly
