#16 - Blake Grisham: A Story of Friendship and Science 

Dr. Grisham dives into talking about the lesser-prairie chicken. He explains which regions prairie chickens are located, process of how females pick their lek, and how chickens have different lifetime expectancies in different regions. Grisham’s concern is the way they are surveying for the endangered species list because they survey for population. Prairie- chickens respond very uniquely to seasonal conditions which can lead to their population increasing then decreasing. Grisham explains that due to temperatures rising nesting hens are most affected because they are susceptible to heat and humidity and they can lose their eggs. The bottom line that Dr. Grisham makes is that it is difficult to measure population response for prairie chickens.

Blake Grisham is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Management. He discusses a project he has been working on with Lesser-Prairie Chickens. He studied how temperatures affected these species and found that when it was above 90 degrees the birds would leave their nests because in drought conditions birds do not respond well. His study wanted to assess the range of the species and see if environmental conditions drive nest survival? They are going to continue this study to see how the birds in the northern expansive respond in microclimate conditions.
