- •
We quantified sage-grouse nest success relative to lethal removal of predators.
- •
Areas with reduced raven density had increased nest success of sage-grouse.
- •
Precipitation combined with coyote removal was related to lower nest success.
- •
Temperature in April related to grass growth was connected to higher nest success.
- •
Higher temperature the week prior to nest fate was related to higher nest success.
