Gender identification and growth of juvenile lesser prairie-chickens

Creator:

Pitman, James C., Hagen, Christian A., Robel, Robert J., Loughlin, Thomas M., and Applegate, Roger D.

Abstract:

The ability to ascertain gender and age of juvenile grouse is essential for determining gender-specific population age structure and studying timing of reproductive events, respectively. We examined outer rectrix feathers from juvenile Lesser Prairie-Chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) captured at 30–40 and 50–60 days post-hatching. Blood samples were collected from most chicks...

Age-specific variation in apparent survival rates of male lesser-prairie-chickens

Creator:

Hagen, Christian A., Pitman, James C., Sandercock, Brett K., Robel, Robert J., and Applegate, Roger D.

Abstract:

We used mark-recapture methods to estimate age-specific apparent survival rates for male Lesser Prairie-Chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus), a gamebird of conservation concern. A total of 311 male prairie-chickens (135 yearlings, 176 adults) were captured and banded during a 5-year study in southwest Kansas. Time-since-marking models were used to estimate apparent survival...

Lesser prairie-chicken brood habitat in sand sagebrush: invertebrate biomass and vegetation

Creator:

Hagen, Christian A., Salter, G. Curran, Pitman, James C., Robel, Robert J., and Applegate, Roger D.

Abstract:

Invertebrates are an important food source for grouse chicks, especially within the first 2 weeks of life. Invertebrate abundance is highly patchy and dependent upon herbaceous cover and vegetation structure. We examined the relationship between invertebrate biomass (from sweepnet samples) and habitat structure at lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) brood-use and...
