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

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

Selection of Pathways to Foraging Sites in Crop Fields by Flightless Canada geese
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Geese, especially when they are flightless, can cause significant crop damage. We determined the effects of shoreline characteristics on foraging site selection by flightless Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in South Dakota.

Canada Goose Crop Damage Abatement in South Dakota
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Canada geese (Branta canadensis) can cause considerable damage to crops during summer when geese are flightless. We evaluated the effectiveness of a program designed to alleviate crop damage on soybeans by Canada geese in South Dakota, USA.

Plasma metabolites reflect seasonally changing metabolic processes in a long-distance migrant shorebird (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
, 2002 Migrant birds have tightly scheduled annual cycles consisting of several distinct life cycle (sub-)stages such as reproduction, migration, moult and overwintering, each of which have specific metabolic requirements (e.g., fattening during migration ...

Changes in Distribution of Canada Geese Nesting in Arkansas
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 The reintroduced Canada goose (Branta canadensis) population in Arkansas has grown in range and abundance in recent decades. We determined the geographic range of Arkansas resident Canada geese from 2004 to 2012 using volume contour maps from citizen ...
