grassland bird responses to land management in the largest remaining tallgrass prairie.	extensive habitat loss and changing agricultural practices have caused widespread declines in grassland birds throughout north america. the flint hills of kansas and oklahoma--the largest remaining tallgrass prairie--is important for grassland bird conservation despite supporting a major cattle industry. in 2004 and 2005, we assessed the community, population, and demographic responses of grassland birds to the predominant management practices (grazing, burning, and haying) of the region, includ ...	2009	19040653
density-dependent habitat selection by brown-headed cowbirds ( molothrus ater) in tallgrass prairie.	local distributions of avian brood parasites among their host habitats may depend upon conspecific parasite density. we used isodar analysis to test for density-dependent habitat selection in brown-headed cowbirds ( molothrus ater) among tallgrass prairie adjacent to wooded edges, and prairie interior habitat (>100 m from wooded edges) with and without experimental perches. eight study sites containing these three habitat treatments were established along a geographical gradient in cowbird abund ...	2005	15375686
