Non‐invasive sampling is a useful tool for genetic analyses of endangered and/or elusive
species, but it is often inapplicable due to the low quality and quantity of the DNA obtained …

Abstract The Mid‐continent Population (MCP) of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) is widely
hunted in North America and is separated into the Gulf Coast Subpopulation and Western …

Previous studies of migratory sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) have made significant
progress explaining evolution of this group at the species scale, but have been unsuccessful …

Although good quality DNA can be recovered from the base of the calamus of freshly
sampled feathers, as from other fully keratinized tissues such as nail or hair shaft, the quality …

The aim of this paper is to review research areas and results of the study of crane population
gene pools using molecular genetic techniques. Data on the taxonomy and phylogeny of the …

Compared to increases recorded in the 1970s, annual indices to abundance of the Mid-
Continent Population (MCP) of sandhill cranes have been relatively stable since the early …

The Rocky Mountain Population (RMP) of greater sandhill cranes uses a key stopover area,
the San Luis Valley (SLV) in Colorado. Parameters of migration phenology can differ …

The Red-crowned Crane, Grus japonensis, is an endangered species of crane that has two
separate breeding populations, one in the Amur River basin (continental population) and the …

Simple Summary The red-crowned crane is an endangered bird species in the Far East
Eurasian continent and Hokkaido, Japan. Individual identification has been achieved with …

Conservation genetic analyses of wildlife have increased greatly in the past 10 yr, yet
genetic studies of parrots are rare because of difficulties associated with capturing them and …
