Threats or limiting factors
Old Notes (The conversion of native sagebrush habitat to agricultural land continues to affect the Utah population, being responsible for the loss of several lek sites during recent years. Increasingly efficient use of water for agricultural purposes may ultimately be detrimental to habitat conditions by reducing the availability of wet meadow habitat.)
