Data product containing nest site selection and survival data for "Nesting ecology of greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus at the eastern edge of their historic distribution"

The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in North Dakota is listed as a Priority Level 1 Species of Special Concern by the the North Dakota Game and Fish Department due to the declining populations between 1965 and 2003. This data publication contains nest site selection and nest survival data for the greater sage-grouse in North Dakota between 2005 and 2006.
The objective of this study was to quantify nest habitat selection and specific factors associated with survival of nests for greater sage-grouse in North Dakota. This will hopefully lead to the development of management recommendations to assist agencies in managing habitats for sage-grouse.
