The Role of Male Vocal Signals During Male-Male Competition and Female Mate Choice in Greater Prairie-Chickens (<i>Tympanuchus cupido</i>)
… among individuals. In the lek-mating Greater Prairie-Chicken (<i>Tympanuchus cupido</i>), male vocalizations are an integral part of the ritualized display. We investigated whether variation among vocal characteristics of individual male Greater Prairie-Chickens plays a role during female …

Reproductive Success and Brood Habitat Use of Greater Prairie Chickens and Sharp-Tailed Grouse on the Fort Pierre National Grassland of Central South Dakota
Greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) (PC) and sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) (ST) ranges overlap in central South Dakota. Although the ranges of both species have been reduced during recent history, South Dakota is one of only a few states where their populations have …

Influence of the Conservation Reserve Program and Landscape Composition on the Spatial Demographics of Prairie Grouse in Northeastern South Dakota
Changes in distribution and abundance of prairie grouse (Tympanuchus spp.) have been linked to landscape-level habitat changes throughout their range. Since European settlement, millions of acres of native prairie have been lost to cropland conversion within the original range of prairie grouse in …

Flight characteristics of pen-reared and wild prairie-chickens and an evaluation of a greenhouse to rear prairie-chickens
The introduction of pen-reared Attwater's prairie-chickens (APC, Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) into the wild to supplement existing populations has met with marginal success. Flight characteristics, predator avoidance behavior, and rearing methods are possible factors contributing to post-release …
