Guidelines for managing lesser prairieā€chicken populations and their habitats 2010-12-13 .txt text/plain 8261 467 52 Annual variation in chick survival and nest success may have the largest impact on LPCH population growth rates (Hagen 2003) , as had been documented for greater prairie-chickens (T. Lesser prairiechickens in New Mexico and Oklahoma moved considerable distances in years of drought, but prenesting, nesting, and postnesting ranges of females had patterns similar to those of Colorado and Kansas, although they were slightly smaller (Copelin 1963 , Riley et al. A 2-year study on the effects of fire on vegetation in shinnery oak rangelands of Oklahoma suggested that prescribed burning could benefit LPCHs by providing foraging areas, but the immediate effects of fire on nesting cover were negative, particularly when burns were conducted in spring (Boyd 1999, Boyd and . Regional variations in vegetative communities (e.g., sand sagebrush, shinnery oak, mixed shrub, or grass dominated), weather, or resource use that affect populations and their management need to be considered in conservation plans. ./cache/cord-345617-bropr0dy.txt ./txt/cord-345617-bropr0dy.txt
