A fine-scale examination of parturition timing in temperate ungulates.

Parturition timing has long been a topic of interest in ungulate research. However, few studies have examined parturition timing at fine scale (e.g.

Responses to land cover and grassland management vary across life-history stages for a grassland specialist.

Grassland birds have exhibited dramatic and widespread declines since the mid-20th century. Greater prairie chickens () are considered an umbrella species for grassland conservation and are frequent targets of management, but their responses to land use and management can be quite variable. We used data collected during 2007-2009 and 2014-2015 to investigate effects of land use and grassland management practices on habitat selection and survival rates of greater prairie chickens in central Wisconsin, USA.
