Distribution of the Red-crowned Crane in the World

Structure and Function of Mountain Ecosystems in Japan, 2018
Globally, there are 15 different crane species, including the red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis), and are distributed on all continents except South America and Antarctica. Many species of crane are threatened with extinction due to the destruction and reduction of their habitats.

The ‘Injury Feigning’ Displays of the Red-Crowned Crane

Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2013
Abstract We observed feigning behavior by a male Red-crowned Crane (Grus japonensis) in Heilongjiang province, China. The male crane pretended to be injured to draw a larger intruder away from the young. The Red-crowned Crane held his quivering right wing pointed down at the ground, stretching his neck out, running quick short steps with an exaggerated

Ecology of the Red-crowned Crane and Conservation Activities in Japan

Structure and Function of Mountain Ecosystems in Japan, 2018
There are several ecological differences between the migratory continental population and the nonmigratory Hokkaido population of Grus japonensis. Even though the most cranes of the latter move shortly between their breeding and wintering grounds, a few of the pairs occasionally maintain their same territories year-round.

Design of Nature Reserve System for Red-Crowned Crane in China

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2005
A system of nature reserves is a necessary component of an integrated conservation strategy. The basic problem in the design of a nature reserve system is to select the smallest number of sites from a region for some conservation objectives. There are 33 nature reserves intended for the conservation of Red-Crowned Crane (Grus japonensis), totalling 3.1

Age of First Primary Moult in the Red-Crowned Crane Grus japonensis

Ornithological Science, 2020
The Red-crowned Crane Grus japonensis population of Hokkaido, Japan, has increased to over 1,600 individuals since near extinction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Adults and subadults can be distinguished by visible characteristics of their remiges; adults have pure white primaries whereas subadult birds have black primary tips and upper ...

Genetical identification of coccidia in red-crowned crane, Grus japonensis

Parasitology Research, 2006
We genetically analyzed eimerian oocysts isolated from the red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) in Hokkaido, a northern island of Japan. Two types of oocysts of which shapes were similar to Eimeria gruis and E. reichenowi were found. Nearly the total length of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene (about 1.7 kbp in length) was amplified from single oocyst of each ...

Ecology and Conservation of Red-crowned Cranes in Russia

2018
The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is a large, IUCN-listed endangered species found in East Asia. Within Russia, despite a century of records, the center of breeding habitat was not discovered until the 1970s. Since then, researchers and advocates have helped establish a network of protected areas to counter the threats of wetland reclamation ...
