Resource selection functions (RSF) and associated maps are often used by managers to guide conservation actions (Crawford et al., 2020; Pratt & Beck, 2021; Saher et al., 2022). However it is important to move beyond designating important habitat solely based on species occupancy or use. Incorporating demographic measures such as reproductive success will provide increased power and detail for ranking habitat for management priority, particularly across multiple life stages and large spatial extents (Gibson et al., 2016; Pratt and Beck, 2021; Stephens et al., 2015). We provide a quantitative approach to differentiate productive habitats supporting high selection and survival from areas of maladaptive selection where...
These data are the input tables for the habitat selection and survival models. The tables are the result of extracting values from rasters to both 'used' and 'available' locations; 'used' refers to an observation of a sage-grouse nesting or brood rearing, 'available' is a randomly-generated location proximal to a paired 'used' location. For these locations, we extract values from multiple rasters expressing landscape characteristics such as landcover (such as sagebrush, annual grass, or shrubs, expressed as a percentage), height of sagebrush, distance to water features, distance to anthropogenic features, and topographic transformations (such as slope, heat load index, and roughness). There are also some values...
