The effects of captive rearing on the behavior of newly-released whooping cranes (Grus americana)

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2005
Abstract Rearing treatments used in captivity to prepare animals for reintroduction to the wild may have a profound effect on behavior and, possibly, affect their survival after reintroduction. This study examined the behaviors of captive-reared whooping cranes ( Grus americana ) upon their release in Florida to determine if rearing treatments may ...

Perception of Vocal Tract Resonances by Whooping Cranes Grus americana

Ethology, 2000
Although formants (vocal tract resonances) can often be observed in avian vocalizations, and several bird species have been shown to perceive formants in human speech sounds, no studies have examined formant perception in birds’ own species‐specific calls.

Comparison of Serum Protein Electrophoresis Values in Wild and Captive Whooping Cranes (Grus americana)

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2015
Protein electrophoresis of serum samples from endangered, wild whooping cranes ( Grus americana ) was performed to help assess the health of the only self-sustaining, migratory population in North America. Serum samples from wild adult cranes (n = 22) were taken at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Texas, USA during winter. Wild juvenile cranes (n = 26)

Predation on Amphibians and Reptiles by Reintroduced Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) in Louisiana

The American Midland Naturalist, 2016
Abstract Predation on reptiles and amphibians by whooping cranes (Grus americanus) is widely reported, but all published data are anecdotal or based on singular observations, and mostly refer to isolated predation events. Some observers consider reptiles and amphibians to only be occasional prey items of whooping cranes. I report observations that show

Whooping Crane (Grus americana) Nest Attentiveness, Desertion and Management Intervention

Waterbirds, 2013
Abstract. Recovery of endangered birds often involves population establishment through introduction of captive-reared individuals. Growth of a captive-reared Whooping Crane (Grus americana) population introduced into central Wisconsin is currently limited by a high rate of nest desertion, which is thought to possibly be related to poor general nest ...
