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.

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 ...

Natal dispersal of Whooping Cranes in the reintroduced Eastern Migratory Population
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.

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

Reproductive manipulation in the Whooping Crane Grus americana [PDF]
Bird Conservation International, 1996 SummaryWhooping Cranes Grus americana increased from 16 wild migratory birds in 1941 to about 146 birds in 1991. Management on the breeding range in Wood Buffalo National Park, Northwest Territories-Alberta, and protection of the birds along their migration route and on the winter range in Texas, are partly responsible for the population increase.
