Males gather each spring at communal display grounds or leks to compete for mating opportunities with females, and lek sites are essential for the reproductive biology of prai- rie-chickens. We obtained geographic coordinates for 166 active leks located in eastern Kansas. Using GIS analysis, we developed a spatially explicit model to identify landcover and geomorphological variables associated with lek locations. We used a hierarchical approach to model selection to iden- tify the best predictor variables at three spatial scales (0 m, 200 m, and 5 km), and then combined factors from the best models into a global multi- scale model. We found that a synthetic variable, weighted elevation or the point elevation stand- ardized by the elevation of the surrounding land- scape, best explained lek occurrence at a lek point scale of 0 m. At broader spatial scales of 200 m and 5 km, avoidance of agricultural, urban, and forest habitats, avoidance of high densities of roads, and a preference for grassland cover were the best predictors of lek site locations. Next, we created an entropy model based on factors from our minimum Bayesian Information Criterion global model to create an index of suitable lek hab- itat across the Flint Hills, Smoky Hills, and Osage Plains ecoregions of eastern Kansas. The entropy model showed that 85% of lek sites were in hab- itat strata that comprised 20% of the regional landscape, suggesting that prairie-chickens may be utilizing areas that are of marginal quality. Our research results have important implications for conservation because Kansas prairies are the core of extant distribution of Greater Prairie-Chickens and include the largest remaining intact grass- lands in the United States.","PeriodicalId":134903,"journal":{"name":"Ecology, Conservation, and Management of Grouse","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121548814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These persons went out-of-their-way to deploy our boat for the purpose of collecting seabirds while they were involved in buoy operations and CTDs. Without their cooperation, particularly that of the captains, fi eld operations offi cers, and bosons (William Saunders and Fred Alama), this study would not have been possible. We also thank Robert L. Pitman (RLP) who participated on several cruises, helped to collect seabirds during the fi rst three years of the study, and provided some data on fi sh and otolith sizes as well as the cover photos. We are grateful to the many volunteers who also helped—Ian Gaffney, Keith Hansen, Suzanne Healy, Phil Henderson, Steve Howell, Nina Karnovsky, Libby Logerwell, Carla Owston, Peter Pyle, Mark Rauzon, Craig Strong, Sophie Webb, and Terry Wahl.
