Download or read book The North American Grouse: Their Biology and Behavior written by Paul Johnsgard and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten currently recognized species of grouse in North America have played an important role in America's history, from the famous but ill-fated heath hen, a primary source of meat for the earliest New England immigrants, to the ruffed grouse, currently one of the most abundant and soughtafter upland game birds in more than 40 states and provinces. This book summarizes the ecology, reproductive biology, and social behavior of all ten of the extant North American grouse species. It also describes the current status of grouse populations, some of which are perilously close to extinction. The social behavior of grouse is of special biological interest because among these ten species there is a complete mating system spectrum, from seasonally monogamous pair-bonding to highly promiscuous mating patterns. The latter group illustrates the strong structural and behavioral effects of sexual selection resulting from nonmonogamous mating. These influences reach a peak in the development by some grouse species of engaging in mating "leks," arena-like competitions performed by males while attempting to attract fertile females, and also provide opportunities for females to select optimum mating partners. These sexual competitions also promote strong differences evolving in sexual signaling behaviors ("displays") among closely related species. Nevertheless, a relatively high incidence of mating errors and resulting hybridization often occurs in spite of these marked behavioral differences. In addition to a text of 101,000 words, the book includes 16 range maps, 37 line drawings, and 38 photographs by the author, as well as nearly 1,400 literature citations.

Download or read book Grassland Grouse and Their Conservation written by Paul A. Johnsgard and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Johnsgard, one of the world's leading ornithologists, has written this book as a call to action. Conservationists have seen a marked decline in the populations of North American grouse, particularly the grassland-adapted species. Unless action is taken swiftly, at least one species -- Attwater's prairie-chicken -- is certain to follow the heath hen into extinction. Johnsgard begins with the tragic history of the heath hen, which became extinct in 1932. He devotes a chapter each to the greater and lesser prairie-chickens, greater and Gunnison sage-grouse, and sharp-tailed grouse. Johnsgard argues that habitat loss and excessive hunting are major factors contributing to the decline of each species, particularly the lesser prairie-chicken and the Gunnison sage-grouse, which have been proposed for threatened federal status. This narrative history is troubling but not without hope. Johnsgard discusses places where populations exist that have yet to be preserved, and outlines the steps necessary to conserve these species. A possible future does exist for grassland grouse, and Johnsgard's book points the way toward securing it.

Download or read book Natural Grasslands written by Robert T. Coupland and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most detailed review of all major grassland regions of the world by ecologists who have worked extensively in these regions is provided in this volume. Grasslands have been modified to a large extent by the activities of man and his domesticated animals and these stresses are evaluated in terms of ecosystem structure and the activities of its organisms. The book begins with an overview of characteristics applicable to natural grasslands in general: climate, soils, water flow, productivity, micro-organisms, decomposition and nutrient cycling. Because of its length, it is published in two parts. The first includes these eight synthesis chapters and eleven regional chapters of the grasslands of the Western Hemisphere. The Eastern Hemisphere and resumeacute; compose Volume 8B. The uniform treatment of each region includes: consideration of distinctive abiotic features (climatic, edaphic, geologic) related to the biotic subsystems; a description of floral, faunal and microbial components; a consideration of the processes involved in energy flow and cycling of nutrients throughout the ecosystem; discussion of the application of this fundamental information to conservation of resources and land use and management. Natural Grasslands will be particularly useful for conservationists, land managers of and terrestrial ecologists in general, and those of subhumid regions in particular. It is very well illustrated and referenced and contains much information in tabular form.
