     "text": "Given the diverse habitat types used for their life history in the sagebrush biome, greater sage-grouse are often proposed as an umbrella species for communities of other sagebrush-obligate species. Data gaps remain throughout the sage-grouse range, however, including in northeastern Wyoming. Concurrently, an ambitious effort is underway to monitor bird communities across the West following the IMBCR program, and the distribution of these species can be characterized by specific habitat components that overlap sage-grouse seasonal habitats. USGS and Colorado State University scientists are using IMBCR data and hierarchical community models to create predictive surfaces of bird use by habitat type and comparing these predictions to habitat prioritization derived from sage-grouse locations. With the extent of IMBCR sampling across the West (nine states that overlap sage-grouse range), this approach has the potential to be extended to other areas with low-density sage-grouse populations where direct identification of seasonal habitats is difficult."
