IN VITRO EMBRYO PRODUCTION IN WOOD BISON (Bison bison athabascae)
… oocytes and to produce disease-free wood bison embryos by in vitro fertilization and culture. In Chapter 3, the in vivo and in vitro maturational characteristics of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) collected from live wood bison during the anovulatory and ovulatory seasons were compared. The …

A triadic relationship on the northern Great Plains: bison (Bison bison), native plants, and native people
… the historic relationship that exists among Bison bison, native plants, and Native People. An exhaustive in-depth review of each ecological component is given. Lakota Indian participants were interviewed for their qualitative knowledge of the three ecological components being studied. …

Evaluation of Bison (Bison Bison) Ecology at the Olson’s Bison Conservation Ranches, Pine River Ranch, Manitoba, Canada
<p>Bison (Bison bison), the largest mammalian species in North America, historically numbering in the tens of millions (Roe 1970, McHugh 1972, Dary 1989, Shaw 1995), was nearly extirpated at the turn of the 19th century (Knapp et al. 1999; Gates et al. 2010). At the time, estimates of less than …

Evaluation of the effect of dietary forage and concentrate levels on the fatty acid profile of bison tissue
… fatty acid profiles were evaluated from 60 bison (Bison bison) bulls from Western Canada. Treatments included Forage Fed (n=19); short term concentrate feeding,

Molecular Diagnosis and Anthelmintic Control of Trichostrongyle and Toxicara nematodes in Bison bison Herds from the U.S.A. Central Great Plains
<p>Bison producers face many challenges, including the transmission of parasitic diseases such as trichostrongylosis and toxocariasis into and within their herds. These diseases can reduce animal production and cause occasional death. There have been no surveys to identify gastrointestinal …

Plant Community Responses to Long-Term Seasonal Bison Grazing in the Dry Mixed Grassland of Saskatchewan
… priority. While it is known that Plains bison (Bison bison bison) are a keystone species, it is not fully understood how plant communities respond to seasonal bison grazing. This study investigated plant community responses to long-term dormant and growing season bison grazing as well as …

Multi-isotope analysis and the reconstruction of prey species palaeomigrations and palaeoecology
… Modern caribou (Rangifer tarandus ssp.) and bison (Bison bison) from North America are used to assess the relationship between known lifetime movements and feeding habits, and those reconstructed through the stable isotope analysis of teeth and bone, including strontium (87Sr/86Sr), oxygen …

Influence of Vegetation Structure on Density of Northern Bobwhites (Colinus Virginianus) on a Tallgrass Prairie in Southwestern Missouri
… burning and open-gate patch-burn grazing with bison (Bison bison) treatments on density of quail estimates relative to vegetation structural responses. Treatments between pastures did not indicate a significant difference in quail density; however, weather impeded scheduled management …

The Influence of Grazing Treatments on Density of Nesting Burrowing Owls on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation
… I examined the influence of grazing by bison (Bison bison) and cattle on burrowing owls on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, South Dakota. Burrowing owl densities were sampled in each of three bison-grazed sites, three cattle-grazed sites, and three ungrazed sites. Nine blacktailed …

Evaluation of Facilities Design and Methods of Handling Bison
… for thousands of years (Diamond: 1999, 168-169). Bison (Bison bison) are not on that list even though they have been held on private ranches and in parks for over 100 years. Bison have been treated as wild, difficult to handle animals in roundups and when processing them through corrals. This …

DEVELOPMENT OF FECAL DNA SAMPLING METHODS TO ASSESS GENETIC POPULATION STRUCTURE OF GREATER YELLOWSTONE BISON
The bison (Bison bison) of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) and Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) represent two of only three remaining populations of plains bison that have no evidence of hybridization with cattle. Therefore, these bison are an important source for ecological and genetic restoration …

Evaluation of Barriers to Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) Colony Expansion, Bad River Ranches, South Dakota
… vinyl sheeting with chicken wire, American bison (Bison bison) exclosures, and straw bales. Barriers were 100 meters (328 ft) in length and located within 1 hectare monitoring plots (2.47 ac). Grazing and mechanical mowing were allowed on both sides of barriers. A prairie dog free zone was …

Authentication of Species in Bison Products Using Molecular Methods
<p>American bison (<em>Bison bison</em>) meat is vulnerable to species substitution due to its high value and similar appearance to less expensive meats, such as beef from domestic cattle (<em>Bos taurus</em>). DNA barcoding of the cytochrome <em>c </em>oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene is a commonly …
