Behavioural, mensural, and ecological correlates of polygyny in the eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna)
… of the territory of male Eastern Meadowlarks (Sturnella magna) in order to determine whether there was a correlation between any of the attributes investigated and the number of females attracted by a male. Seventeen males, nine of which were polygynous and eight monogamous, were studied in …

Modeling Detection and Density Using Distance Sampling for Three Priority Grassland Bird Species in Texas - Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna), and Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris)
… (Colinus virginianus), Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna), and Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris). Due to this, accurate density and abundance estimates are critical for management of these species. This 5-year study identified covariates that influence detection, availability for …

Resource selection, movement patterns, and survival of post-fledging grassland birds in Missouri
… (Spiza americana) and eastern meadowlarks (Sturnella magna) in southwestern Missouri, from 2002 to 2004 using radio telemetry. Across species at the micro-scale, there was support for the predation hypothesis (both species) and the thermal refuge hypothesis (dickcissels only). Woody cover …

Habitat selection and breeding ecology of grassland birds in areas managed with fire and grazing
… more woody cover, while eastern meadowlarks (Sturnella magna) and grasshopper sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum) selected areas with increased cover of warm-season grasses and litter. Though I observed strong trends in selection, selected traits did not appear to influence nest success, likely …

Is meadowlark habitat segregation within sympatry behaviorally mediated?
The Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna) and Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) are morphologically and ecologically similar species that co-occur within a recently expanded zone of secondary contact. Although spatial patterns of sympatric meadowlark populations have been previously compared, …
