Microsatellite data, boundaries of subpopulation centers, and estimated effective migration for greater sage-grouse collected in western North America between 1992 and 2015 (ver. 2.0, December 2022) Characterizing genetic structure across a species’ range is relevant for management and conservation as it can be used to define population boundaries and quantify connectivity. Here, we characterized population structure and estimated effective migration in Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Our objectives were to (1) describe large-scale patterns of population genetic structure and gene flow and (2) to characterize genetic subpopulation centers across the range of Greater Sage-grouse. Samples from 2,134 individuals were genotyped at 15 microsatellite loci. Using standard STRUCTURE and spatial principal components analyses, we found evidence for four or six areas of large-scale genetic differentiation...

Over the period of the data collection, we had 29 mountain lions equipped with telemetry collars and we investigated clusters of locations when GPS collar locations were in the same area for three nights -- we used this criteria to identify potential predation events by mountain lions, and then hiked to the GPS cluster location on foot to search for a kill site and to identify the species consumed. Collared mountain lions were both males and females, and species consumed included mule deer, feral horses, bighorn sheep, coyotes, other mountain lions, badgers, beaver,...
