Front Cover: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in breeding display on northwestern Utah rangelands. The landscape is a largely dominated by intact sagebrush with some minor areas managed to reduce sagebrush dominance. Here and elsewhere in the Great Plains and Intermountain West where the greater sage-grouse is found, lands traditionally managed for domestic livestock are increasingly managed for wildlife as well. Freese and colleagues propose a framework of ten ecological conditions for making the transition from livestock-centered management toward biodiversity-centered management on Great Plains rangelands.
