They are explicitly developed and structured to help facilitate the use of science, data, and practical analysis methods in management decisions on and around public lands, helping agencies to better understand potential effects of proposed actions and meet their conservation and resource management goals."

We are using a newly developed synthesis format \u2013 structured science syntheses \u2013 that centers management decisions, and the processes that agencies use to make those decisions, to help facilitate use of the synthesized information to benefit sage-grouse populations."

Genetic information can help inform priorities for protection and habitat restoration as well as strategies for translocations, but may be difficult for resource managers to find, interpret, and use in their decision making. In this work, we will synthesize published genetic research on both sage-grouse species, providing guidance for how genetic information can be incorporated into management decisions."

Both species require sagebrush habitat for all aspects of their life cycle, inhabiting what is left of the sagebrush biome on and around public lands in western North America. For over two decades, genetic studies have been used to assist in the conservation and management of sage-grouse, addressing a wide variety of topics including taxonomy, parentage, population connectivity, and demography. Many sage-grouse conservation questions can be informed by genetic science and data, including:"
