| Annotation: |
This PhD dissertation examines the impacts on development of natural gas fields on greater sage-grouse (C. urophasianus) breeding behavior, seasonal habitat selection, and population growth in the Upper Green River Basin of western Wyoming. The document suggests that currently imposed development stipulations are inadequate to protect greater sage-grouse, and that stipulations need to be modified to maintain populations within natural gas fields. |
