| genetic rescue, the greater prairie chicken and the problem of conservation reliance in the anthropocene. | a central question in conservation is how best to manage biodiversity, despite human domination of global processes (= anthropocene). common responses (i.e. translocations, genetic rescue) forestall potential extirpations, yet have an uncertain duration. a textbook example is the greater prairie chicken (grpc: tympanuchus cupido pinnatus), where translocations (1992-1998) seemingly rescued genetically depauperate illinois populations. we re-evaluated this situation after two decades by genotypin ... | 2017 | 28386428 |
| recent range expansion and divergence among north american prairie grouse. | prairie grouse (genus: tympanuchus) once existed throughout much of north america but have recently experienced significant population declines, isolation, and extinction. in previous molecular studies, contrasting patterns or an unresolved polytomy among tympanuchus taxa (tympanuchus phasianellus, tympanuchus pallidicinctus, and tympanuchus cupido) have resulted from traditional phylogenetic methods. as an alternative approach, the timing of expansion and the demographic processes that may have ... | 2008 | 18283050 |
| enzootic reticuloendotheliosis in the endangered attwater's and greater prairie chickens. | reticuloendotheliosis (re) in captive greater prairie chickens (gpc, tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) and attwater's prairie chickens (apc, tympanuchus cupido attwateri) was first reported in 1998. re is caused by avian reticuloendotheliosis virus (rev), an oncogenic and immunosuppressive retrovirus infecting multiple species of wild and domestic birds. during august 2004 through may 2006 a captive population of prairie chickens was affected simultaneously with a neoplastic condition and also avian ... | 2006 | 17274288 |
| genetic evaluation of a proposed introduction: the case of the greater prairie chicken and the extinct heath hen. | population introduction is an important tool for ecosystem restoration. however, before introductions should be conducted, it is important to evaluate the genetic, phenotypic and ecological suitability of possible replacement populations. careful genetic analysis is particularly important if it is suspected that the extirpated population was unique or genetically divergent. on the island of martha's vineyard, massachusetts, the introduction of greater prairie chickens (tympanuchus cupido pinnatu ... | 2004 | 15189201 |
| contrasting patterns of mitochondrial and microsatellite population structure in fragmented populations of greater prairie-chickens. | greater prairie-chickens (tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) were once found throughout the tallgrass prairie of midwestern north america but over the last century these prairies have been lost or fragmented by human land use. as a consequence, many current populations of prairie-chickens have become isolated and small. this fragmentation of populations is expected to lead to reductions in genetic variation as a result of random genetic drift and a decrease in gene flow. as expected, we found that gen ... | 2003 | 14629350 |
| reticuloendotheliosis in captive greater and attwater's prairie chickens. | reticuloendotheliosis in captive greater (tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) and attwater's (t. cupido attwateri) prairie chickens is reported for the first time. between september 1993 and august 1994, two adult female wild-caught greater prairie chickens housed at texas a&m university (college station, texas, usa) were observed with multiple subcutaneous nodules. both birds were euthanatized. complete necropsy examinations revealed lesions limited to the skin of each bird. histopathologic examinatio ... | 1998 | 9813849 |
