Effects of climatic variation and reproductive trade‐offs vary by measure of reproductive effort in greater sage‐grouse

摘要: Research on long-lived iteroparous species has shown that reproductive success may increase with age, until the onset of senescence, and prior influence current success. Such complex dynamics can complicate conservation strategies, especially for harvested species. Further complicating matter is fact most studies costs are only able to evaluate a single measure effort. We systematically evaluated effects climatic variation trade-offs multiple vital rates greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse), relatively galliforme concern throughout western North America. Based over decade field observations, we hypothesized reproduction influenced by previous monitored hen activity from 1998 2010, used generalized linear mixed models assess climate p...
