“…This shift is similar to the shift in morning activity onset observed during incubation in the present study (Archibald, 1973;Chambers and Sharp, 1958;Gullion, 1970;Hale -95 and Dorney, 1963;.Rusch and Keith, 1971b), probably because of the close attachment to drumming sites. Broods typically remain together until late.summer or early fall at which time the juveniles disperse.…”

“…According to Bump et al· (1947) most brood ranges are less than 100 acres and average about 40 acres. Edminster (1947) reported that the average brood range is about 1/4-mile in c diameter, whereas Chambers and Sharp (1958) Haas (1974) found that female Spruce Grouse without broods tended to move over smaller areas than hens with broods. In I contrast, Braun and Rogers (1971) found that female White-tailed Ptarmigan (Lagopus leucurus) without broods wandered widely while those with broods, once in brooding areas, tended to be sedentary.…”

“…Sharp (1963) stated that chicks under 10 days of age are relatively immobile. Fisher (1939), Polderboer (1942), Hungerford (1957), Chambers and Sharp (1958), and Rusch and Keith (197lb) all stated that young grouse utilize a relatively small range.

“…We therefore determined the relative availability of adjacent blocks that could provide dispersers for each block in the state. Grouse in New York disperse in autumn an average of 1–4 km and sometimes ≥8–12 km (Chambers and Sharp 1958). Our chosen neighborhood size accounted for these distances in that the distance from the centroid of the center cell to the centroid of the farthest corner cell in the neighborhood was 14 km.…”

In New York State, USA, the abundance of ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) has declined >75% since the 1960s. We hypothesized that range contraction of grouse in New York State was associated with broad-scale spatial patterns relating to forest maturation and that these patterns would be evident at the landscape scale. We evaluated data available from New York Breeding Bird Atlases conducted in the early 1980s and again in the early 2000s, which included surveys of >5,000, 25-km 2 sample blocks across a landscape of 125,384 km 2 . We related detection and non-detection of grouse within Breeding Bird Atlas blocks to forest amount, landscape configuration, and presence of neighboring grouse populations via autologistic regression. Loss of early successional forest was inversely related to the continued persistence of grouse (R 2 ¼ 0.61). Models showed that ruffed grouse were no longer detected in marginal areas of their distribution, blocks with low amounts of forest, and blocks with landscape configurations potentially advantageous to nest predators. We conclude that declines in both habitat quality and quantity have contributed to range contraction within New York State and that the factors affecting grouse populations have acted at broader spatial scales than are typically considered in habitat evaluation. Our work demonstrates that large landscape-scale data sets are valuable in assessing changes in distribution and abundance of wildlife populations. Landscape analyses at large geographic scales (>100,000 km 2 ) are of particular importance to managers because they represent ways of quantifying the influence of economic incentives and land-use policy on habitats across large regions. ß 2012 The Wildlife Society.

Climate variability is the most important force affecting distributional range dynamics of common and widespread species with important impacts on biogeographic patterns.This study integrates phylogeography with distributional analyses to understand the demographic history and range dynamics of a widespread bird species, the Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus), under several climate change scenarios. For this, I used an ecological niche modelling approach, together with Bayesian based phylogeographic analysis and landscape genetics, to develop robust inferences regarding this species' demographic history and range dynamics. The model's predictions were mostly congruent with the present distribution of the Ruffed Grouse. However, under the Last Glacial Maximum bioclimatic conditions, the model predicted a substantially narrower distribution than the present. The predictions for the Last Glacial Maximum also showed three allopatric refugia in south-eastern and west-coast North America, and a cryptic refugium in Alaska. The prediction for the Last Interglacial showed two separate distributions to the west and east of the Rocky Mountains. In addition, the predictions for 2050 and 2070 indicated that the Ruffed Grouse will most likely show slight range shifts to the north and will become more widely distributed than in the past or present. At present, effective population connectivity throughout North America was weakly positively correlated with F st values. That is, the species' distribution range showed a weak isolation-by-resistance pattern. The extended Bayesian Skyline Plot analysis, which provided good resolution of the effective population size changes over the Ruffed Grouse's history, was mostly congruent with ecological niche modelling .
