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...
