1. Grouse Bibliography (pdf file) compiled and continuously maintained by Don Wolfe,
presented by species, more complete for North American grouse species than for European and Asian species, but always useful.
From October 2005, it still contains primarily manuscripts in English, but should contain the majority of manuscripts from outside of North America that ARE in English. From February 2006, papers in German, in French or in other language with an English summary are also included. In June 2007, it contains nearly 6000 citations. The pdf file is to download from the Sutton Avian Research Center website: http://www.suttoncenter.org/pubs.html . Don Wolfe updates the file every month or two, so check yourself the link!
