Abstract

Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse), the largest grouse species in North America, was designated as a candidate species in March 2010 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (USFWS 2010). In the 12-month finding, the USFWS determined that sage-grouse range wide warranted protection under the ESA but their listing was precluded because of higher conservation priorities.
