infectious disease survey of lesser prairie chickens in north texas.	lesser prairie chicken (tympanuchus pallidicinctus) abundance, like that of most grassland birds, has declined rangewide for decades. although habitat loss and degradation are likely ultimate causes for this decline, infectious agents, particularly microparasites, could be proximate contributors. no surveys of pathogenic bacteria or viruses have been published for this species. we surveyed 24 free-living lesser prairie chickens from hemphill county, texas (usa), for evidence of exposure to salmo ...	2002	12528454
the predicted influence of climate change on lesser prairie-chicken reproductive parameters.	the southern high plains is anticipated to experience significant changes in temperature and precipitation due to climate change. these changes may influence the lesser prairie-chicken (tympanuchus pallidicinctus) in positive or negative ways. we assessed the potential changes in clutch size, incubation start date, and nest survival for lesser prairie-chickens for the years 2050 and 2080 based on modeled predictions of climate change and reproductive data for lesser prairie-chickens from 2001-20 ...	2013	23874549
