Abstract:
Sixty-two adult male willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) were collected over 3 days in April 1979 from a single flock along the Hudson Bay coast of Ontario. Twenty-one ptarmigan contained cestodes (genus Raillietina) in the anterior of the small intestine and 41 were free of cestodes. Each ptarmigan was dissected into its principal voluntary muscles, liver, and intestinal components, and the entire body was subjected to neutral fat extraction. Parasitized willow ptarmigan had significantly heavier empty small intestinal weights than nonparasitized birds. All other variables pertaining to the fa

On 12 June 1984 at La Pérouse Bay, Manitoba, Canada, 1 saw three herring gulls attack, kill, and consume an incubating adult hen willow ptarmigan and her clutch despite vigorous defence behaviour by her mate. Possible attacks by gulls or jaegers occurred also on two incubating hens in 1983.

Abstract:
Context Nest predation is a major factor influencing life history and population dynamics of ground-nesting birds. The transitions between the northern boreal mountain birch forests and the low-alpine tundra are important habitats for the willow ptarmigan, Lagopus lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758). During the past decades, these landscapes have been extensively developed with cabin resorts in southern Norway, which has led to an increased number of roads and foot paths in relatively undisturbed habitats. Aims The aim of the present study was to investigate relative nest-predation rates in elevation gra

Abstract:
AbstractThe cestode Hymenolepis microps is an intestinal parasite of tetraonid birds, including the willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus). This parasite is able to maintain a high prevalence and intensity throughout the year, even in a subarctic environment in bird populations with relatively low host densities, indicating effective transmission routes. Willow ptarmigan consume mainly vegetal material and active consumption of invertebrates is confined to the first two or three weeks of life. Ptarmigan are infected by different species of ectoparasites, of which two species of feather lice, Lagop

Abstract:
From an ecological perspective, knowledge of demographic history is highly valuable because population size fluctuations can be matched to known climatic events, thereby revealing great insight into a species’ reaction to past climate change. This in turn enables us to predict how they might respond to future climate scenarios. Prominently, with the advent of high-throughput sequencing it is now becoming possible to assemble genomes of non-model organisms thereby providing unprecedented resolution to the study of demographic history and speciation. This thesis utilises four species of grouse (

Abstract:
Abstract The Kluane system harbors five species of grouse. Two species, spruce grouse (Falcipennis canadensis) and ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus), inhabit forest year-round. Three species of tundra grouse, willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus), white-tailed ptarmi­ gan (L. leucurus), and rock ptarmigan (L. mutus), inhabit the alpine and subalpine above treeline in the Shakwak Valley most of the year. Willow ptarmigan descend into the open forest from October to March. All grouse are almost exclusively herbivores; females dur­ ing egg laying and young chicks also eat a variety of invertebrates. Spruce grouse are conifer specialists, foraging principally on spruce and pine in winter and on forbs and leaves, fruits, and seeds of shrubs in summer and autumn (Boag and Schroeder 1992). Spruce grouse spend significant amounts of time foraging on ground vegetation in sum­ mer and thus might compete with hares for food during the breeding season. Ruffed grouse feed principally on buds and leaves of deciduous trees (aspen, bog birch) and shrubs and forbs seasonally (Rusch et al. 2000). Ptarmigan feed on willow buds and leaves through­ out the year and on flowers, leaves, seeds and berries of sedges, ericaceous shrubs, and mosses in season (Braun et al. 1993, Hannon et al. 1998). Both forest grouse and ptarmigan form part of the herbivore trophic level year-round in Kluane, as their wide-ranging predators (goshawk, golden eagle, harrier, coyote, lynx, fox, wolverine, wolf) hunt in both forest and adjacent alpine areas.
