Delineating and identifying long-term changes in the whooping crane (Grus americana) migration corridor [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Defining and identifying changes to seasonal ranges of migratory species is required for effective conservation. Historic sightings of migrating whooping cranes (Grus americana) have served as sole source of information to define a migration corridor in ...

Coccidian Parasites and Conservation Implications for the Endangered Whooping Crane (Grus americana). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 While the population of endangered whooping cranes (Grus americana) has grown from 15 individuals in 1941 to an estimated 304 birds today, the population growth is not sufficient to support a down-listing of the species to threatened status.

Haemosporida prevalence and diversity are similar in endangered wild whooping cranes (Grus americana) and sympatric sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis). [PDF]
Parasitology, 2017 SUMMARYThe population growth of endangered whooping cranes (Grus americana) is not consistent with species recovery goals, and the impact of parasite infection on whooping crane populations is largely unknown. Disease ecology and epidemiology research of endangered species is often hindered by limited ability to conduct invasive sampling on the target ...

Management implications of habitat selection by whooping cranes (Grus americana) on the Texas coast
EcosphereEffective habitat management for rare and endangered species requires a thorough understanding of their specific habitat requirements. Although machine learning models have been increasingly used in the analyses of habitat use by wildlife, the primary ...

Spatial and temporal predictions of whooping crane (Grus americana) habitat along the US Gulf Coast
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 The challenge of conserving viable habitat while simultaneously predicting how land cover may geographically shift with future climate change has put pressure on ecologists and policy‐makers to develop near‐term (several years to a decade) ecological and

Natal dispersal of Whooping Cranes in the reintroduced Eastern Migratory Population [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Natal dispersal is a key demographic process for evaluating the population rate of change, especially for long‐lived, highly mobile species. This process is largely unknown for reintroduced populations of endangered avian species.

Avian mortalities due to transmission line collisions: a review of current estimates and field methods with an emphasis on applications to the Canadian electric network [PDF]
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2013 Birds are vulnerable to collisions with human-made fixed structures. Despite ongoing development and increases in infrastructure, we have few estimates of the magnitude of collision mortality.
