Slack in the configuration of habitat patches for northern bobwhites
Article Abstract:
A variety of patch configurations, which refer to the dispersion, quantity and type of habitat patches, is believed to support ranges in the optimal values of habitat features for northern bobwhites, leading to optimal landscapes for these birds. A simple simulation model revealed that patch configuration has a property known as slack, wherein different patch configurations with ranges of values for habitat features may provide optimal habitat. Such slack exists as different patch configurations result in fully usable space over time. It allows flexibility in habitat management plans to be able to achieve multiple land-use objectives.

Nesting ecology and survival of scaled quail in the southern high plains of Texas
Article Abstract:
Radiotelemetry was used to evaluate nesting ecology and survival of scaled quail in the Southern High Plains of Texas in 1999 and 2000. It was observed that drought and overgrazing by livestock increased the percentage of bare ground and reduced visual obstruction, which led to reduce scaled quail populations in the Southern High Plains.

Does muscular damage during capture and handling handicap radiomarked northern bobwhites?
Article Abstract:
Northern bobwhites captured for scientific study might be subject to muscle tissue damage during handling. This hypothesis is evaluated by comparing survival of northern bobwhite treated for muscular damage with bobwhites that were not treated.
