Book Description
CHAPTER 2: Habitat-use models for wildlife reintroductions are important management tools. Such predictive models can save managers time and money by ensuring animals are released into suitable habitats. We tested predictive winter and lambing habitat-use models constructed by Whiting et al. (2004) for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) on Mount Nebo, Utah. We used ArcGIS 9.2 to determine the number of bighorn sightings observed in predicted habitats. Additionally, we documented which variables were violated for bighorn sightings outside of modeled habitats. Our results showed that bighorns used predicted slopes, elevations, and vegetation cover types only 40% to 60% of the time during both seasons. Furthermore, only 14% of winter sightings (n=70) and 18% of lambing sightings (n=55) occurred within habitats predicted by Whiting et al. (2004). Finally, we offer suggestions to improve both models, which will aid in the restoration and conservation of bighorns in Utah.
