The Agonistic Behavior of the Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis Canadensis)

Behaviour, 1968
The attack behavior of captive Canada geese (Branta canadensis canadensis) in winter was studied. An analysis of responses deals mainly with the head and neck units, and utilizes evidence from several independent sources. The general nature of agonistic behavior under certain experimental conditions is described. A wild-reared goose from one flock when

AVIAN POX INFECTION IN A CANADA GOOSE (Branta canadensis)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1980
Lesions suggestive of Avian Pox were found on a debilitated Canada goose (Branta canadensis). These were demonstrated histologically to be characteristic poxvirus lesions and poxvirus particles were seen using electron microscopy. The virus was successfully transmitted to domestic geese but not to leghorn chickens or to domestic ducks.

Canada goose (Branta canadensis) droppings as a potential source of pathogenic bacteria

Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, 1999
Canada goose droppings, collected in parks to which the public had access, were screened for a range of bacteria that could be pathogenic in man. Droppings of Canada geese, and other waterfowl, did contain such bacteria, including some that are well-known causes of illness in man.

Infiltrative Spinal Lipoma in a Canada Goose (Brantacanadensis)

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2016
An adult Canada goose ( Branta canadensis ) was presented unable to walk. On physical examination, conscious proprioception was absent in both legs, and motor function was decreased. The bird did not improve with supportive care and was euthanatized and submitted for postmortem examination. Sagittal sectioning of the spine revealed an intradural growth

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY OF LEAD-CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT IN CANADA GEESE (Branta canadensis)

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2000
Sediment ingestion has recently been identified as an important exposure route for toxicants in waterfowl. The effects of lead-contaminated sediment from the Coeur d'Alene River Basin (CDARB) in Idaho on posthatching development of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) were examined for 6 wk.

Weights of Branta canadensis interior during Winter

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1968
Based on weights of Branta canadensis interior obtained from three sampling periods during winter 1964-65 at Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, Illinois, the following results and conclusions emerged: adults expectedly lost weight in late winter; yearlings and immatures did not lose weight through the winter; geese at Crab Orchard were usually ...

Multicentric Neurofibrosarcoma in a Canada Goose, Branta canadensis

Avian Diseases, 1963
of fluid serum and serodiscs saturated with whole blood. Hemagglutination-inhibition tests of eluates of whole-bloodsaturated serodiscs resulted in the detection of 85%o of 118 pheasants with serum titers of 200 or higher. Tube agglutination tests of whole-blood eluates for pullorum disease were unreadable, and the plate agglutination tests of eluates ...

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) entire mitochondrial genome of a bird from Western Pennsylvania has 16,760 bp (GenBank accession number NC 007011) and has been analyzed for gene locations, length, start codon and stop codons. This genome from a bird harvested during the non-migratory season is the REFSEQ and the haplotype is designated GCC-A ...

PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADA GEESE (BRANTA CANADENSIS) IN WESTERN NORTH AMERICA

The Auk, 2003
Abstract Using molecular genetic markers that differ in mode of inheritance and rate of evolution, we examined levels and partitioning of genetic variation for seven nominal subspecies (11 breeding populations) of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) in western North America.
