Comparative Sampling Methods and Community Composition of Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in Northern Bobwhite Habitat
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)This research contributes to a larger body of work concerning the decline of Northern Bobwhite in Western Oklahoma. Populations of Northern Bobwhite have been declining since at least the 1960's. Previous research has ... -
Effect of Fire and Habitat Interaction on Arthropod Forage for Northern Bobwhite Broods
(2019-07)Arthropods are abundant and diverse animals that dominate many terrestrial food webs and provide important ecosystem functions. Northern bobwhite (Galliformes, Colinus virginianus) chicks and reproducing hens require high ... -
Landscape of fear as an emergent property of heterogeneity: Contrasting patterns of predation risk in grassland ecosystems
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-05-24)The likelihood of encountering a predator influences prey behavior and spatial distribution such that non-consumptive effects can outweigh the influence of direct predation. Prey species are thought to filter information ... -
Northern Bobwhite and Bird Community Response to Habitat Restoration in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-05-01)Reversing the population decline of Northern Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus, hereafter bobwhite), an economically important gamebird, in Oklahoma, is a priority for wildlife managers in the state. The Quail Habitat Restoration ... -

Thermal patterns constrain diurnal behavior of a ground-dwelling bird
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-11-12)Recently, gaining knowledge about thermal refuges for vulnerable species has been a major focal point of ecological studies, and this focus has been heightened by predicted temperature increases associated with global ... -
Using a historic drought and high-heat event to validate thermal exposure predictions for ground-dwelling birds
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-07-08)Deviations from typical environmental conditions can provide insight into how organisms may respond to future weather extremes predicted by climate modeling. During an episodic and multimonth heat wave event (i.e., ambient ...
