I am recruiting an MS student to research the effects of livestock grazing on greater sage-grouse space use. Livestock production and wildlife conservation are often considered to be at odds; this project will evaluate the potential for livestock grazing to be reconciled with conservation and used as a tool to enhance wildlife habitat. By analyzing movements of sage-grouse in a landscape of pastures rested and grazed on a rotational basis, the project will evaluate competitive or facilitative relationships between livestock and sage-grouse.
