Evaluation of the Genetic Management of the Endangered Mississippi Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis pulla)
… status of the critically endangered Mississippi sandhill crane (Grus canadensis pulla) was analyzed using 2009 studbook data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service managed captive breeding and release program. Microsatellite DNA data provided information on shared founder genotypes, allowing for …

Habitat Characteristics Affecting Site Occupation in Wintering Henslow’s Sparrows at Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge
… Henslow’s sparrow site occupancy at Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. In this study, Henslow’s sparrow more often occupied sites burned one growing season earlier than sites burned two growing seasons earlier, and did not occupy sites burned three or more growing seasons …

Sandhill crane colt survival and fledging success in northeastern Illinois: the role of age and significance of land cover in an urbanized landscape
The breeding and fledging success of Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis spp.) in urban landscapes has been largely unexplored by previous research. I evaluated survival and habitat use of young Greater Sandhill Cranes (G. c. tabida) in northeastern Illinois, where the Eastern Population of cranes and …

Sources of Nest Failure in Mississippi Sandhill Cranes, Grus canadensis pulla: Nest Survival Modeling and Predator Occupancy
… of the critically endangered Mississippi Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis pulla). Lack of information on sources of nest failure hinders effective management to increase recruitment. I examined sources of nest failure for 54 nests at the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge, …

Vigilance behavior and land use by sandhill cranes (<i>grus canadensis</i>)
<p>I investigated how vigilance in sandhill crane time budgets changed with behavioral, climatic, and anthropogenic factors. I measured two different postures that could be interpreted as vigilance. Cranes significantly altered the time spent in the alert investigative posture with differences in …

Below-Ground Food Production in Habitats Utilized by the Rocky Mountain Populations of Greater Sandhill Cranes
… distribution of below-ground foods used by RMP cranes in agricultural fields and wetlands across six annual cycle events in 2006 and 2007 (wintering, spring staging, spring stopover, breeding, post-breeding, and fall staging). Below-ground foods were sampled in sandhill crane foraging habitats …

Migratory Ecology and Movement Patterns of Mid-Continent and Eastern Sandhill Cranes
Sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) are long-lived birds with relatively low recruitment rates, making accurate knowledge of abundance and distribution critical for well-informed harvest management. Minnesota is one of few states containing portions of 2 different breeding populations of greater …
