Recent range expansion and divergence among North American Prairie GrouseJeff A Johnson
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, 1109 Geddes Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
J Hered 99:165-73. 2008..This information will prove useful in conservation efforts by providing estimates of demographic history that have helped shape the evolutionary relationships among Tympanuchus grouse...
Temporal changes in allele frequencies and low effective population size in greater prairie-chickensJeff A Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, PO Box 413, 53201, USA
Mol Ecol 13:2617-30. 2004..These results have immediate consequences for the conservation of the prairie-chicken, and highlight the importance of how mating systems and limited dispersal may exacerbate the loss of genetic variation in fragmented populations...
Prioritizing species conservation: does the Cape Verde kite exist?Jeff A Johnson
The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709, USA
Proc Biol Sci 272:1365-71. 2005..We do find support for recognition of at least one clade of yellow-billed kites, traditionally considered as a black kite subspecies, as a distinctive phylogenetic species...
Effects of recent population bottlenecks on reconstructing the demographic history of prairie-chickensJeff A Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, PO Box 413, Milwaukee, WI 53201, USA
Mol Ecol 16:2203-22. 2007....
Genetic structure among continental and island populations of gyrfalconsJeff A Johnson
The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709, USA
Mol Ecol 16:3145-60. 2007..Additional sampling of gyrfalcons from Fennoscandia and Russia throughout Siberia is necessary to test putative gene flow between Norway and Alaska and Canada as suggested by this study...
The use of genetics for the management of a recovering population: temporal assessment of migratory peregrine falcons in North AmericaJeff A Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, Institute of Applied Sciences, University of North Texas, Denton, Texas, USA
PLoS ONE 5:e14042. 2010..The primary goal of any recovery effort is to produce a long-term self-sustaining population, and these genetic measures provide a metric by which we can gauge our progress and help make important management decisions...
Contrasting patterns of mitochondrial and microsatellite population structure in fragmented populations of greater prairie-chickensJeff A Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, PO Box 413, Milwaukee, WI 53201, USA
Mol Ecol 12:3335-47. 2003..Thus, maintaining gene flow may be important for the long-term persistence of prairie-chicken populations...
Long-term survival despite low genetic diversity in the critically endangered Madagascar fish-eagleJeff A Johnson
The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709, USA
Mol Ecol 18:54-63. 2009..This will help the population persist when exposed to stochastic factors (e.g. climate and disease) that may threaten a species consisting of only 200 adult individuals while inhabiting a rapidly changing landscape...
Drift and selection influence geographic variation at immune loci of prairie-chickensJennifer L Bollmer
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, P O Box 413, Milwaukee, WI 53201, USA
Mol Ecol 20:4695-706. 2011..Our results caution that neutral forces, such as drift, can make it difficult to detect current selection on genes...
Genetics of plumage color in the Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus): analysis of the melanocortin-1 receptor geneJeff A Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, Institute of Applied Sciences, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA
J Hered 103:315-21. 2012..These results provide strong support that MC1R is associated with plumage color in this species...
