Population recovery of the Whooping Crane with emphasis on reintroduction efforts: Past and future
D. H. Ellis, J. C. Lewis, G.F. Gee, D.G. Smith
1992, Book chapter, Proceedings of the Sixth North American Crane Workshop.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) began building a captive whooping crane (Grus americana) colony at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (Patuxent), Maryland, in 1966. From 1976 to 1984, 73 eggs from this colony and 216 eggs from Wood Buffalo National Park (Wood Buffalo), Canada, nests were placed in sandhill...

1992, Book chapter, Wildlife 2001: Populations
Information on change in population size over time is among the most basic inputs for population management. Unfortunately, population changes are generally difficult to identify, and once identified difficult to explain. Sources of variald (patterns) in population data include: changes in environment that affect carrying capaciyy and produce...

1992, Book chapter, Proceedings of the 1988 North American Crane Workshop
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is responsible for recovery of endangered species in the wild and, when necessary, maintenance in captivity. These programs provide an immediate measure of insurance against extinction. A prerequisite inherent in all of these programs is the preservation of enough genetic diversity to maintain...
Comparison of neotropical migrant landbird populations wintering in tropical forest, isolated forest fragments, and agricultural habitats

1992, Book chapter, Ecology and Conservation of Neotropical Migrant Landbirds
Neotropical migrant bird populations were sampled at 76 sites in seven countries by using mist nets and point counts during a six-winter study. Populations in major agricultural habitats were compared with those in extensive forest and isolated forest fragments. Certain Neotropical migrants, such as the Northern Parula, American Redstart, and...
Karyotype and identification of sex in two endangered crane species

1992, Book chapter, Proceedings of the 1988 North American Crane Workshop
A laboratory procedure for sex identification of monomorphic birds was developed using modern cytological methods of detecting chromosome abnormalities in human amniotic fluid samples. A pin feather is taken from a pre-fledging bird for tissue culture and karyotype analysis. Through this method, the sex was identified and the karyotype described...
Geographic patterns in population trends of neotropical migrants in North America

1992, Book chapter, Ecology and Conservation of Neotropical Migrant Landbirds
We use the route-regression method to estimate the population trends of 100 species of Neotropical migrants using data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). We examine long-term (1966-1988) and recent (1978-1988) trends. In the long-term, more species of Neotropical migrants were increasing than were decreasing in...

A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards
K.M. Fluetsch
1992, Book
A comparative study was undertaken to document more closely the effects of operational pesticide use on non-target avian species. Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) and American Robin (Turdus migratorius) nesting activity was monitored in three organic and three conventional orchards during two breeding seasons. Surveys were conducted to characterize...

A statistical overview of mass movement characteristics on the North American Atlantic outer continental margin
James S. Booth, Dennis W. O'Leary
1992, Marine Geotechnology (10) 1-18
An analysis of 179 mass movements on the North American Atlantic continental slope and upper rise shows that slope failures have occurred throughout the geographic extent of the outer margin. Although the slope failures show no striking affinity for a particular depth as an origination level, there is a broad,...
