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.

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.

Reinventory of the vascular plants of Mormon Island Crane Meadows after forty years of restoration, invasion, and climate change [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 The majority of tallgrass prairie has been lost from North America's Great Plains, but remaining tracts often support significant biodiversity. Despite permanent protections for some remnants, they continue to face anthropogenic threats including habitat
