- W2321342909 abstract "Telemetry equipment was used to track 70 (34 males, 31 females, and 5 unsexed) individual greater prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) in northeastern Kansas. A total of 3,214 locations was recorded and 2,229 successive days of location data were obtained during 1964-1968. These data were used to calculate ranges of individual birds, and the distances between locations of birds on successive days were used to determine movement activity. Between 1966 and 1968, a total of 2,019 locations of 49 of the 70 birds (26 males and 23 females) was analyzed according to habitat usage. Ranges of birds were > 200 acres during the late summer and < 500 acres during fall and spring. Adult cocks exhibited the largest monthly range (1,267 acres) in March and the smallest (79 acres) in August. Ranges of juveniles were similar to those of adult males. Movement data reflected the same trends as did the range data. Occasional inter-booming ground movements were recorded for both males and females. Extensive movements (2.7-6.7 miles) of juveniles during October and November may represent population dispersal and may serve as a population regulatory mechanism. Attempts to correlate vegetation density with seasonal changes in habitat usage were futile. The shallow range site was used more by prairie chickens than were the limestone breaks and claypan vegetation complexes on the study area. Use of booming grounds was greater in spring and use of grain sorghum fields extensive in winter. Intensive use was made of booming ground areas in the morning, limestone breaks range site in midday, and wheat and oats fields in evening. At one time the greater prairie chicken was the leading upland game bird of the grasslands of central North America. Today it provides hunting in only a few areas. Even though this bird provides limited hunting opportunities and its range has been considerably reduced in recent years, the greater prairie chicken has continued to 1 Contribution No. 1056 Division of Biology, Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Kansas State University, Manhattan, 66502. 2Present address: Extension Service, Colorado State University, Glenwood Springs, 81601. 3 Present address: 11519 W. 61st Place, Arvada, Colorado 80002. 4Present address: Department of Zoology, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, 62901. 5 Present address: Arizona Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, University of Arizona, Tucson, 85721. 6 Present address: Minnesota Department of Conservation, Warroad, 56763. 286 receive the attention of several biologists. The literature contains more reports of studies conducted on remnant rather than large greater prairie chicken populations; Hamerstrom (1939), Schwartz (1945), Hamerstrom and Hamerstrom (1949 and 1955), Hamerstrom et al., (1957), Ammann (1957), Yeatter (1943), and Berger et al. (1963) to mention but a few. To obtain basic data from a large, stable population of greater prairie chickens, an extensive research program was initiated in northeastern Kansas in 1964. The determination of home range sizes and mobility patterns were two primary objectives of the original research. This paper presents data on greater prairie chicken home range and mobility gathered between 1964 and 1968. A habitable range for greater prairie This content downloaded from 157.55.39.92 on Wed, 22 Jun 2016 07:02:07 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms PRAIRIE CHICKEN HABITAT AND MOVEMENTS * Robel et al. 287 chickens is almost invariably defined as an extensive grassland area. Areas of extensive grasslands in the prairie regions of central North America have decreased in recent years and thus, suitable habitat for greater prairie chickens has experienced considerable attrition (Aldrich 1963:537). Much has been written about the reduction of range originally occupied by greater prairie chickens (Bennitt and Nagel 1937: 48, Schwartz 1945:90, Mohler 1952:9, Christisen 1967:182). The reduction of habitat has caused increased interest in habitat studies of greater prairie chickens (Jones 1963). To better understand habitat requirements of greater prairie chickens in a central portion of their range, bird location data from radio-tagged birds in northeastern Kansas were analyzed for habitat usage.
