Quantification of bone surface textures: exploring a new method of ontogenetic ageing
Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2023 Identification of ontogenetic age classes plays an important role in the fields of zoology, palaeontology and archaeology, where accurate age classifications of (sub)fossil remains are a crucial component for the reconstruction of past life.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January/March 2026.Uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) equipped with thermal cameras are increasingly being used in wildlife research. Here, we explore the use of UAS paired with distance sampling to detect and estimate densities of waterfowl pairs and broods in Wisconsin.

Evaluation of an avian radar system in a midwestern landscape
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Bird strikes in aviation are an increasing threat to both aircraft and human safety. Management efforts have focused largely on the immediate airport environment. Avian radar systems could potentially be useful in assessing bird strike threats at greater

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 4-20, January 2026.Abstract The hyperabundance of herbivores—a result of altered human relationality with the land and the extirpation of predators—is leading to large‐scale degradation of keystone ecosystems across the globe. Designing and implementing socially acceptable and cost‐effective strategies that meaningfully reduce herbivore populations while allowing for the

A population model for management of Atlantic flyway resident population Canada geese
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Highly abundant resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) cause property damage throughout their range. Effective reduction and management of these populations requires knowledge of their population dynamics and responses to management actions.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 82-93, January 2026.The preservation of bony structures which enclose the hearing organs (ECD) provide a basis for interpreting the hearing capabilities of the extinct, flightless Dromornithidae (Aves). Although the length of the dromornithid ECD was especially short, relative to basicranial length, it conformed to the negative allometric scaling relationships observed in

Demographic consequences of translocation of overabundant Canada geese breeding in urban areas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Translocation is a common tool for managing nuisance Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in urban areas across North America. However, no previous research has assessed how translocation affects survival and philopatry at donor and release sites.

Falcons reduce pre‐harvest food safety risks and crop damage from wild birds
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3327-3340, December 2025.In the absence of American kestrels, there are more birds in orchards. This leads to increased crop damage and more bird faecal contamination. Abstract Foodborne illness outbreaks have heightened pressures on growers to improve food safety, including mitigating possible threats from wildlife. Among wildlife, birds are particularly challenging to deter,

Integrated damage management reduces grazing of wild rice by resident Canada geese in New Jersey
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Tidal freshwater marshes of the Maurice River, New Jersey, USA, have been long renowned for robust stands of wild rice (Zizania aquatica). During the 1990s, these marshes experienced an apparent decline in wild rice.
