Summary

These data are the results of a spatially interpolated integrated population model (SIIPM) fit to count and demographic data collected from populations of Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) located in Nevada, U.S.A. during 2013-2021. We used a novel framework, using integrated population models (IPMs), to express demographic relatedness among sampled and unsampled populations using geographic principles of spatial autocorrelation (Shepard, 1968; Tobler, 1970). Specifically, the framework pairs relatively inexpensive population count data with spatially interpolated demographic estimates. When conducted within a Bayesian framework, spatially interpolated demographic parameters can be expressed as [...]

Purpose

It is often difficult to develop spatially and temporally robust datasets that characterize wildlife population performance at large geographic extents. As a result, analyses typically make broad-scale inference at the expense of precision or increase precision at the expense of spatial relevance. The SIIPM method benefits from the presence of a joint likelihood, which accommodates locally collected population count data and thus can correct for spatial errors attributable to the interpolative process.
