Endoparasites of Northern Sharp-tailed Grouse, Tympanuchus phasianellus phasianellus, as Related to Age and Position on the Lek

The only indication of endoparasites found in male sharp-tailed grouse collected during the breeding season from the western James Bay region of northern Ontario, Canada, were nematode eggs of an unknown species. Nematode egg loads of male sharp-tailed grouse that occupied central territories on lek...
