Internal helminth parasites of the lesser prairie-chicken Tympanuchus pallidicinctus in southwestern Kansas: incidence, burden, and effects

Creator:: Robel, Robert J., Walker, Thomas L. Jr, Hagen, Christian A., Ridley, Robert K., Kemp, Kenneth E., and Applegate, Roger D.
Abstract:: We conducted a 3-year study of helminth parasites to assess their effect on the lesser prairie-chicken Tympanuchus pallidicinctus. Helminth parasites were found in most of the examined wild prairie chicken carcasses: 95% had eye worm Oxyspirura petrowi, 92% had stomach worm Tetrameres sp., and 59% had caecal worm Subulura sp....

Niche partitioning by lesser prairie-chickens Tympanuchus pallidicinctus and ring-necked pheasants Phasianus colchicus in southwestern Kansas.

Creator:: Hagen, Chrisitan A., Pitman, James C., Robel, Robert J., Loughin, Thomas M., and Applegate, Roger D.
Abstract:: We conducted this 2-year study to determine if lesser prairie-chickens Tympanuchus pallidicinctus and ring-necked pheasants Phasianus colchicus used the same habitats where their ranges overlapped in southwestern Kansas. Telemetry locations of 50 transmitter-equipped lesser prairie-chickens and 28 pheasants were used to monitor habitat use by the two species. Additionally, vegetation...

A meta-analysis of greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus nesting and brood rearing habitat

Creator:: Hagen, Christian A., Connelly, John W., and Schroeder, Michael A.
Abstract:: The distribution and range of the greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus have been reduced by 56% since the European settlement of western North America. Although there is an unprecedented effort to conserve the species, there is still considerable debate about the vegetation composition and structure required for nesting and brood-rearing habitat....

Threshold levels of generalist predation determine consumer response to resource pulses

Creator:: Levi, Taal, Kilpatrick, A. Marm, Barfield, Michael, Holt, Robert D., Mangel, Marc, and Wilmers, Christopher C.
Abstract:: Many ecological systems are characterized by brief periods of increased resource availability called resource pulses. Empirical studies suggest that some populations of primary consumers grow rapidly in response to resource pulses, but others instead remain at low abundance despite increases in resource availability. Previous theory suggests that the lack of...

Effects of ethyl mercury on some parameters of reproduction in ring-necked pheasants

Creator:: Christensen, Alan Gene
Abstract:: Prior to onset of the breeding season, a ration containing 18.4 mg/kg N-(Ethylmercuri)-p-toluene sulphonanilide was fed to 6 male and 16 female ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). Birds receiving the mercury-treated ration were separated from the opposite sex. After receiving the mercury-treated ration for 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 days,...

Creator:: Schmidt, Kenneth A., Johansson, Jacob, and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Social information is used widely in breeding habitat selection and provides an efficient means for individuals to select habitat, but the population-level consequences of this process are not well explored. At low population densities, efficiencies may be reduced because there are insufficient information providers to cue high-quality habitat. This constitutes...

Coexistence of top predators in headwater streams : pathways of intraguild predation between Pacific Giant salamander larvae and cutthroat trout

Creator:: Rundio, David E.
Abstract:: The coexistence of multiple predators may have important consequences for the structure and function of communities. Interactions between predators may strongly affect their combined direct and indirect effects on prey populations and lower trophic levels. Predators often have size-structured populations, which may result in intraguild predation characterized by complex trophic...

Towards a cohesive, holistic view of top predation: a definition, synthesis and perspective

Creator:: Sergio, Fabrizio, Schmitz, Oswald J., Krebs, Charles J., Holt, Robert D., Heithaus, Michael R., Wirsing, Aaron J., Ripple, William J., Ritchie, Euan, Ainley, David, Oro, Daniel, Jhala, Yadvendradev, Hiraldo, Fernando, and Korpimäki, Erkki
Abstract:: Research on the ecology of top predators – upper trophic level consumers that are relatively free from predation once they reach adult size – has provided regular contributions to general ecology and is a rapidly expanding and increasingly experimental, multidisciplinary and technological endeavour. Yet, an exponentially expanding literature coupled with...
