Deciphering Cryptic Population Structure in Western Sandhill Crane Subspecies (<i>Antigone canadensis</i>) of the Pacific Flyway. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Sandhill Crane populations of the Pacific Flyway are made up of breeding populations nesting west of the Rocky Mountains, and isolated by intermediate mountain ranges. Here, we analyze microsatellite markers, mitochondrial DNA sequences, and mitochondrial haplogroups to elucidate population genetic structure and found substantial genetic ...

Assessing the hydroregime of an archetypal riverine wet meadow in the central Great Plains using time‐lapse imagery

Ecosphere, 2021
Wet meadows are a declining and increasingly degraded ecosystem type. They contribute numerous ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, water storage, and filtration, and provision of wildlife habitat, particularly for wetland‐dependent species ...

Whooping crane Grus americana chick mortality and management intervention [PDF]

Wildlife Biology, 2013
Translocation of captive‐reared animals is widely used as a tool for endangered species recovery. Frequently, translocated populations have relatively low initial productivity, requiring management intervention. A translocated population of whooping cranes Grus americana in central Wisconsin ...

FOGS: A SNPSTR Marker Database to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and a Cell Culture Bank for Ex-Situ Conservation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

The role of social capital in endangered species management: A valuable resource

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
The whooping crane (Grus americana) is an endangered North American species facing multiple environmental and anthropogenic threats. Even if the species thrives, it must continue to be managed after recovery because the threats will not abate.

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.

Drought‐driven foraging adjustments in breeding white storks Ciconia ciconia: GPS tracking insights from two French marshes

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
In the context of climate change, the increasing frequency of severe meteorological events, such as floods or droughts, is expected to impact various life history traits in organisms, primarily by altering the availability and quality of their trophic resources.
