Survey of zoonotic parasites and bacteria in faeces of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in North‐Central Oklahoma [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022
Background As a population of non‐migratory Canada geese (Branta canadensis) has been growing in residential and recreational areas, public concerns on potential acquisition of zoonotic pathogens from Canada geese and their faecal deposits have been ...

Phenotypic Characterization and Draft Genome Sequence Analyses of Two Novel Endospore-Forming Sporosarcina spp. Isolated from Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) Feces [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2023
In an attempt to isolate new probiotic bacteria, two Gram-variable, spore-forming, rod-shaped aerobic bacteria designated as strain A4 and A15 were isolated from the feces of Canada geese (Branta canadensis).

Susceptibility of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Migratory birds have been implicated in the long-range spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A virus (H5N1) from Asia to Europe and Africa.

Cost-benefit analysis for invasive species control: the case of greater Canada goose Branta canadensis in Flanders (northern Belgium) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Sound decisions on control actions for established invasive alien species (IAS) require information on ecological as well as socio-economic impact of the species and of its management.

Predator activity, proactive anti-predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count-Based Risk Mitigation Tool. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these

Subtype-specific influenza A virus antibodies in Canada geese (Branta canadensis). [PDF]

Vet Microbiol, 2015
Historically, surveillance for influenza A viruses (IAVs) in wild birds has relied on viral detection assays. This was largely due to poor performance of serological assays in wild birds; however, recently developed commercial serological assays have improved the ability to detect IAV antibodies in wild birds.

Marine resources alter tundra food web dynamics by subsidizing a terrestrial predator on the sea ice. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Predator use of resource subsidies can strengthen top‐down effects on prey when predators respond numerically to subsidies. Although allochthonous subsidies are generally transported along natural gradients, consumers can cross ecosystem boundaries to acquire subsidies, thereby linking disparate ecosystems.

The Secret Life of Tidal Marshes and Mangroves: Camera Trapping as a Window Into Wildlife Using North American Coastal Wetlands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Host-adapted Cryptosporidium spp. in Canada geese (Branta canadensis). [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2004
ABSTRACTThe prevalence and distribution ofCryptosporidiumspp. in the fecal droppings of the free-living waterfowl Canada geese were examined at 13 sites in Ohio and Illinois. On the basis of the analysis of the small-subunit rRNA gene by PCR, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing, 49 (23.4%) of 209 fecal ...
